  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TEND248 indicates that a user is not authorized to edit a specific tendering profile in the SAP Transportation Management (TM) module. This error typically arises due to insufficient authorization settings for the user attempting to perform the action.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary authorizations assigned to their user role to edit the tendering profile.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  Review Tendering Profile Settings:
  
  Check the configuration of the tendering profile to ensure that it is set up correctly and that there are no restrictions preventing the user from making edits.
