• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR035 - Location sequence contains cycles ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR035 Location sequence contains cycles typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there is a cyclic dependency in the location sequence defined for transportation planning. This means that the system has detected a loop in the sequence of locations that are supposed to be visited during transportation, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Cyclic Location Sequence: The most common cause of this error is that the defined sequence of locations (e.g., from a source location to a destination location) includes a cycle. For example, if the sequence is defined as A ? B ? C ? A, it creates a cycle.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the transportation lanes or routes may have been set up incorrectly, leading to cycles.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors in the location sequence or transportation lanes can also lead to this issue.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Location Sequence: Check the defined location sequence in the transportation planning settings. Ensure that there are no cycles in the sequence. You can do this by reviewing the transportation lanes and the routes defined in the system.
  Modify Transportation Lanes: If you find a cycle, modify the transportation lanes to eliminate the cycle. Ensure that the sequence flows logically from the starting point to the endpoint without returning to any previous location.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in SAP TM for transportation lanes and routes. Make sure that they are set up correctly and do not create any loops.
  Test Changes: After making changes, test the transportation planning process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
