Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TCCS_TMPL027 - Line number &1: Currency should be % as charge type value is percentage ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TCCS_TMPL027 Line number &1: Currency should be % as charge type value is percentage typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there is a mismatch between the expected currency format and the charge type defined in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Charge Type Configuration: The charge type you are using is defined as a percentage. Therefore, the system expects the currency value to be represented as a percentage (e.g., 10% instead of a monetary value like $10).
  Data Entry Error: When entering data for charges, a monetary value may have been mistakenly entered instead of a percentage value.
  Master Data Issues: The master data for the charge type may not be correctly configured to reflect that it should be a percentage.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Charge Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for charge types in SAP TM.
  Ensure that the charge type in question is correctly set up to accept percentage values.
  
  
  
  Review Data Entry:
  
  Check the specific line item (indicated by line number &1 in the error message) where the error occurred.
  Ensure that the value entered is a percentage and not a currency amount. For example, if you intended to enter 10%, make sure it is entered as 10 and not $10.
  
  
  
  Correct Master Data:
  
  If the charge type is incorrectly configured in the master data, you may need to update it to ensure it is set to accept percentage values.
  This may involve working with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the charge types are set up correctly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the transaction again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on charge type configurations.
  Documentation: Review the SAP TM documentation for details on charge types and their configurations.
  User Training: Ensure that users entering data are trained on the correct formats for entering charges, especially distinguishing between percentage and currency values.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP TM for further assistance.
