• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TES_RT007 - System wasn't able to determine the waypoints ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TES_RT007 indicates that the system was unable to determine the waypoints for a transportation request or shipment. This can occur in the SAP Transportation Management (TM) module when the system is trying to calculate the route for a transportation order but fails to find the necessary waypoints.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Master Data: The waypoints may not be defined in the system. This includes missing locations, transportation lanes, or route definitions.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for transportation lanes or routes may not be set up correctly.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the master data, such as incorrect location coordinates or missing data in the location master.
  Transportation Network Issues: The transportation network may not be properly defined, leading to the inability to determine valid waypoints.
  Routing Determination Issues: The routing determination process may not be able to find a valid route due to missing or incorrect criteria.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Ensure that all relevant master data (locations, transportation lanes, routes) is correctly defined and active in the system.
  Verify that the locations involved in the transportation request have valid coordinates and are correctly set up in the system.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings for transportation lanes and routes in the SAP TM configuration. Ensure that the routes are correctly defined and that the transportation lanes are active.
  Make sure that the routing determination settings are correctly configured to allow the system to find valid routes.
  
  
  
  Validate Transportation Network:
  
  Review the transportation network setup to ensure that all necessary connections and waypoints are defined.
  Check if there are any missing links in the transportation network that could prevent the system from determining waypoints.
  
  
  
  Analyze Logs and Messages:
  
  Use transaction codes like /SCMTMS/RT to analyze the routing determination logs and messages for more detailed information about why the waypoints could not be determined.
  Look for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide clues to the underlying issue.
  
  
  
  Test with Different Scenarios:
  
  Try creating a transportation request with different parameters or locations to see if the issue persists. This can help identify if the problem is specific to certain data.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation and Support:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation for guidance on transportation management and routing determination.
  If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, providing them with detailed information about the error and the steps you have taken to troubleshoot.
