  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TEND196 indicates that there is an issue with currency conversion between the price limit currency and the document currency in the Transportation Management System (TMS). This error typically arises when the system is unable to convert a specified currency into another due to various reasons, such as missing exchange rates or incorrect currency settings.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Exchange Rate: The exchange rate between the two currencies (price limit currency and document currency) may not be defined in the system.
  Currency Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of currencies in the system, such as incorrect settings in the currency types or the currency conversion settings.
  Inactive Exchange Rate: The exchange rate might be inactive for the date of the transaction.
  Incorrect Currency Assignment: The price limit currency or document currency may not be correctly assigned in the relevant master data or transaction data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Exchange Rates:
  
  Go to the transaction code OB08 to check if the exchange rate between the two currencies is maintained.

  Check the master data (e.g., vendor, customer, material) to ensure that the correct currencies are assigned.
