• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TCD020 - Document currency not specified in forwarding order &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TCD020 Document currency not specified in forwarding order &1 typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when a forwarding order is being processed, but the document currency has not been defined for that order. This can prevent further processing of the order, as the system requires a currency to perform calculations and manage financial transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Currency Assignment: The forwarding order does not have a currency assigned to it. This can happen if the order was created without specifying a currency or if the currency was not inherited from the relevant master data (like the customer or vendor).
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that are not set up correctly, leading to the omission of currency information.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system or if there were changes in the master data, it might not have included the necessary currency information.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Forwarding Order: Open the forwarding order in question and verify if the document currency is specified. If it is missing, you can manually enter the currency in the order.
  Review Master Data: Ensure that the relevant master data (like customer, vendor, or transportation lane) has the currency defined. If the master data is missing currency information, update it accordingly.
  Configuration Review: Check the configuration settings in SAP TM to ensure that the system is set up to automatically assign currency based on the relevant parameters.
  Recreate the Order: If the order is not too complex, consider recreating it to ensure that all necessary fields, including currency, are filled out correctly.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling currency settings in forwarding orders.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SCMTMS/FO to access forwarding orders or /SCMTMS/MD for master data management.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address known issues or provide patches related to currency handling in forwarding orders.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to edit the forwarding order and its associated master data.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant who can provide deeper insights into the specific configuration and data setup in your SAP environment.
