• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TCCS185 - Charge due valid only for transportation mode category "Air" ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TCCS185 Charge due valid only for transportation mode category "Air" typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there is an attempt to apply a charge that is only valid for air transportation modes to a transportation scenario that does not involve air transport.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Charge Assignment: The charge being applied is specifically defined for air transportation modes, but the transportation mode being used in the scenario is not air (e.g., it could be road, rail, or sea).
  Configuration Issues: The configuration of the transportation charges may not be set up correctly, leading to the system trying to apply an air-specific charge to a different mode.
  Master Data Issues: The master data for the transportation mode or the charge may not be aligned correctly, causing the system to misinterpret the applicable charges.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Charge Configuration: Check the configuration of the transportation charges in SAP TM. Ensure that the charge is correctly defined for the intended transportation mode. If the charge should apply to multiple modes, it may need to be reconfigured.
  Adjust Transportation Mode: If the charge is indeed meant for air transport, ensure that the transportation mode in the relevant transportation scenario is set to air. If it is not, either change the mode or remove the charge.
  Check Master Data: Verify the master data for both the transportation mode and the charge. Ensure that they are correctly set up and that there are no discrepancies.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on configuring transportation charges and modes. This can provide insights into best practices and common pitfalls.
  Testing: After making changes, conduct tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the charges are applied correctly based on the transportation mode.
