• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR115 - You cannot assign items to new HBL; items are already assigned ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR115 indicates that you are trying to assign items to a new House Bill of Lading (HBL) in the Transportation Management System (TMS), but those items are already assigned to another HBL. This situation typically arises when there is an attempt to reassign items that are already linked to an existing transportation document.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Assignment: The items you are trying to assign to the new HBL are already linked to a different HBL.
  Data Integrity: The system is designed to maintain data integrity by preventing the same items from being assigned to multiple HBLs simultaneously.
  User Error: There may be a misunderstanding of the process, leading to attempts to reassign items without first unassigning them from the original HBL.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Current Assignments: Review the current assignments of the items in question. You can do this by navigating to the relevant HBL or transportation document in the TMS and checking which items are assigned.
  Unassign Items: If you need to reassign the items to a new HBL, you must first unassign them from the existing HBL. This can typically be done in the TMS interface by selecting the items and choosing the option to unassign or detach them from the current HBL.
  Reassign to New HBL: Once the items have been unassigned from the original HBL, you can then proceed to assign them to the new HBL.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the process, refer to the SAP documentation or user guides specific to your version of TMS for detailed steps on managing HBL assignments.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP TMS that can help you manage HBLs and item assignments.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to modify HBL assignments, as restrictions may apply based on user roles.
  System Configuration: In some cases, system configuration settings may affect how assignments are handled. Consult with your SAP Basis or TMS administrator if you suspect configuration issues.
  Error Logs: Check the system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide further context on the issue.
