• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR135 - Merge of items &1 and &2 not possible; only allowed for split items ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR135 Merge of items &1 and &2 not possible; only allowed for split items typically occurs in the context of Transportation Management (TM) when attempting to merge two transportation items that are not eligible for merging. This error indicates that the items you are trying to merge do not meet the criteria for merging, which is usually restricted to split items.
  Cause:
  
  Item Type: The items you are trying to merge are not split items. In SAP TM, merging is generally allowed only for items that have been split from a larger item.
  Status of Items: The items may be in a status that does not allow merging. For example, if one of the items is already confirmed or has been processed in a way that prevents further changes.
  Different Characteristics: The items may have different characteristics (e.g., different delivery dates, shipping points, or other attributes) that prevent them from being merged.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Item Status: Verify the status of both items. Ensure that they are in a state that allows merging (e.g., not confirmed or processed).
  Confirm Split Items: Ensure that the items you are trying to merge are indeed split items. If they are not, you may need to split them first before attempting to merge.
  Review Item Attributes: Check the attributes of both items to ensure they are compatible for merging. If they have different characteristics, you may need to adjust them to make them compatible.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines on merging items in TM to ensure you are following the correct procedures.
  Use Transaction Codes: If applicable, use transaction codes like /SCMTMS/TOR to review the transportation order and its items to understand their current state and attributes.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they found.
  Training and Documentation: Ensure that users involved in transportation management are trained on the processes of merging and splitting items to avoid such errors in the future.
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant who specializes in SAP TM for further assistance.
