• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TCCS661 - Enter a cost transfer strategy ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TCCS661 Enter a cost transfer strategy typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when a user is trying to execute a transaction that requires a cost transfer strategy to be defined but it has not been set up.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered because the system expects a cost transfer strategy to be specified for the transportation charge calculation. This strategy defines how costs are allocated and transferred within the transportation management process. If this strategy is not defined in the system, the transaction cannot proceed, leading to the error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to define a cost transfer strategy in the SAP system. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Customizing Settings:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen.
  Navigate to the following path: SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> Logistics Execution -> Transportation -> Basic Transportation Functions -> Cost Transfer -> Define Cost Transfer Strategy.
  
  
  
  Define a New Cost Transfer Strategy:
  
  In the configuration screen, you can create a new cost transfer strategy by clicking on the "New Entries" button.
  Fill in the required fields, such as the strategy name and description, and specify the relevant parameters that define how costs should be transferred.
  
  
  
  Assign the Cost Transfer Strategy:
  
  After defining the strategy, ensure that it is assigned to the relevant transportation planning or execution processes where it is needed.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  Once the cost transfer strategy is defined and assigned, try to execute the transaction again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal for detailed documentation on Transportation Management and cost transfer strategies.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SCMTMS/PLN for planning and /SCMTMS/EXE for execution, as these may be related to the context in which the error occurs.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and modify cost transfer strategies in the system.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for further investigation, as there may be additional configuration or data issues that need to be addressed.
