  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TCCS189 Item &1: Enter either rate table type or amount, not both typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when you are trying to define a transportation charge or rate for a specific item. This error indicates that there is a conflict in the input data where both a rate table type and an amount have been entered for the same item, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following scenarios:
  
  Conflicting Inputs: You have entered both a rate table type (which usually refers to a predefined set of rates) and a specific amount for the same item in the transportation charge configuration.
  Data Entry Error: It may be a simple mistake where the user inadvertently filled in both fields instead of just one.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that only one of the two fields is populated:
  
  Review the Input Fields: Go to the relevant transaction or screen where you are entering the transportation charges.
  Clear Conflicting Fields: 
  
  If you want to use a rate table type, remove the amount from the corresponding field.
  If you want to specify a fixed amount, clear the rate table type field.
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes and check if the error persists.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or your organization's SAP documentation for more details on configuring transportation charges and understanding the fields involved.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP TM, such as /SCMTMS/CHARGE for managing transportation charges.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to make changes to transportation charges, as some fields may be restricted based on user roles.
