Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR016 - Manual adding of FUs is only possible for FUs with only one stage ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR016 indicates that you are trying to manually add Freight Units (FUs) in the Transportation Management System (TMS) that have more than one stage. This restriction is in place because the system only allows manual addition of FUs that consist of a single stage.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You attempt to manually add a Freight Unit that has multiple stages (e.g., multiple legs or segments in the transportation process).
  The system is designed to manage complex transportation scenarios automatically, and manual intervention is limited to simpler cases.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following options:
  
  
  Check the Freight Unit Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the Freight Unit you are trying to add is indeed a single-stage unit. If it has multiple stages, you will need to either modify it or create a new single-stage Freight Unit.
  
  
  
  Use Automatic Creation:
  
  Instead of manually adding the Freight Unit, use the automatic creation process provided by SAP TMS. This will allow the system to handle the complexities of multi-stage Freight Units.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Freight Units:
  
  If you have an existing multi-stage Freight Unit that you need to work with, consider breaking it down into separate single-stage Freight Units if that aligns with your transportation planning needs.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or help files related to Freight Unit management in TMS for more detailed guidance on handling Freight Units and the limitations of manual additions.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
  
  If you believe that your scenario should allow for manual addition or if you need further assistance, consider reaching out to SAP support for help.
