• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TCM_FO_COMM025 - Scale base &1 cannot have value length since data field is internal ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TCM_FO_COMM025 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a scale base in the Transportation Management System (TMS). Specifically, the error states that the scale base cannot have a value length because the data field is internal. This typically occurs when there is a mismatch between the expected data type or length and the actual configuration in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The scale base is likely configured with a data type that does not support the specified length. For example, if the system expects a certain length for a numeric field but the configuration specifies a longer length, this error can occur.
  Incorrect Configuration: The scale base may have been incorrectly set up in the system, leading to inconsistencies in how the data is processed.
  Internal Data Field: The error message suggests that the field in question is an internal data field, which may have restrictions on its length or format.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration of the scale base in the TMS settings. Ensure that the data types and lengths are correctly defined according to the requirements of your business processes.
  Adjust Lengths: If the scale base is defined with a length that exceeds the allowed limit for the internal data field, adjust the length to comply with the system's requirements.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on configuring scale bases and understanding the limitations of internal data fields.
  Testing: After making changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the system behaves as expected.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuration best practices.
