  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TEND344 Duplicate response sequence number &1 for Freight RFQ &2 typically occurs in the context of the SAP Transportation Management (TM) module when there is an issue with the sequence numbers of responses related to Freight Request for Quotations (RFQs). This error indicates that there are duplicate sequence numbers being used for responses to a specific RFQ, which can lead to confusion and processing issues.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Responses: The most common cause of this error is that multiple responses with the same sequence number have been submitted for the same RFQ. This can happen if:
  
  The same response is submitted multiple times due to user error.
  There is a system or integration issue that causes the same response to be processed more than once.
  
  
  
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with data integrity in the database, where the sequence numbers are not being managed correctly.
  
  
  Concurrency Issues: If multiple users or processes are trying to submit responses at the same time, it can lead to conflicts in sequence numbering.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Duplicate Responses: Review the responses submitted for the specific RFQ (identified by &2 in the error message) and check if there are any duplicates with the same sequence number (identified by &1). If duplicates are found, remove or correct them.
  
  
  Adjust Sequence Numbering: Ensure that the system is correctly managing sequence numbers. This may involve checking the configuration settings for response handling in SAP TM.
  
  
  Database Cleanup: If there are data integrity issues, it may be necessary to perform a cleanup of the database to remove any duplicate entries or to correct the sequence numbers.
  
  
  User Training: If user error is a frequent cause, consider providing training to users on how to properly submit responses to RFQs to avoid duplicates.
  
  
  System Configuration Review: Review the configuration of the SAP TM system to ensure that it is set up correctly to handle RFQ responses and that there are no issues with the integration points that could lead to duplicate submissions.
