• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TEND167 - Tendering process stopped; changes made to &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TEND167 Tendering process stopped; changes made to &1 typically occurs in the context of the SAP Transportation Management System (TMS) when there are changes made to a transportation request or related data while the tendering process is ongoing. This can disrupt the tendering process, leading to the error message.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Changes: The most common cause of this error is that changes were made to the transportation request, shipment, or related objects while the tendering process was still active. This can happen if multiple users are working on the same data simultaneously.
  Data Locking: The system may have a locking mechanism that prevents changes to certain objects while they are being processed. If a change is attempted during this time, the tendering process will be halted.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the TMS that are not aligned with the expected workflow, leading to unexpected behavior during the tendering process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check for Changes: Review the changes made to the transportation request or related objects. Ensure that no modifications are being made while the tendering process is running.
  Restart the Tendering Process: After ensuring that no changes are being made, you can restart the tendering process. This may involve re-triggering the tendering for the affected transportation request.
  Locking Mechanism: If the issue persists, check the locking mechanism in the system. Ensure that the necessary locks are in place to prevent changes during the tendering process.
  User Coordination: If multiple users are involved, coordinate with them to avoid simultaneous changes to the same transportation request or related objects.
  System Logs: Check the system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of TMS you are using for any known issues or patches that may address this error.

  User Roles: Ensure that users have the appropriate roles and authorizations to perform actions in TMS without causing conflicts.
