  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR116 indicates that there is an existing freight order for the specified pick-up or delivery item. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when you attempt to create a new freight order for a shipment that already has an associated freight order.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Freight Order: The most common cause of this error is that a freight order has already been created for the same pick-up or delivery item. This can happen if:
  
  The user attempts to create a freight order for an item that is already linked to another freight order.
  There is a system error or misconfiguration that leads to duplicate entries.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Data Entry: Sometimes, incorrect or incomplete data entry can lead to the system not recognizing that a freight order already exists.
  
  
  System Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the Transportation Management module that could lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Freight Orders: 
  
  Use transaction codes like /SCMTMS/FREIGHT_ORDER or relevant reports to check if a freight order already exists for the specified item.
  If a freight order is found, review its details to determine if it can be reused or if modifications are needed.
  
  
  
  Modify or Delete Existing Freight Orders: 
  
  If the existing freight order is no longer needed, consider deleting it if it is appropriate to do so.
  If the existing freight order is valid, you may need to modify it to accommodate the new requirements instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Data Validation: 
  
  Ensure that the data being entered is correct and does not inadvertently lead to duplicate freight orders.
  Validate the pick-up and delivery details to ensure they are unique.
