  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TEND287 Price limit not calculated; no default carrier maintained typically occurs in the SAP Transportation Management System (TM) when the system is unable to calculate a price limit for a transportation tender because there is no default carrier assigned for the relevant transportation lane or route.

  No Default Carrier Assigned: The primary cause of this error is that there is no default carrier set up for the transportation lane. The system requires a default carrier to calculate the price limit for the transportation tender.
  Missing Configuration: There may be missing configuration settings in the transportation management setup, such as the absence of a carrier master record or transportation lane definition.
  Inadequate Master Data: The necessary master data for carriers, routes, or transportation lanes may not be properly maintained or may be incomplete.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
