• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR136 - Merge of items &1 and &2 not possible; item origin differs ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR136 Merge of items &1 and &2 not possible; item origin differs typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when attempting to merge two transportation items (e.g., freight orders, shipments) that have different origins. This can happen during the planning or execution phases when the system detects that the items being merged do not share the same origin, which is a requirement for merging.
  Cause:
  
  Different Origins: The primary cause of this error is that the two items you are trying to merge have different origins. In SAP TM, items must have the same origin (e.g., shipping point, location) to be merged.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data related to the items, such as different shipping points or locations.
  Configuration Issues: There might be configuration settings in the system that prevent merging of items with different origins.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Item Origins: Review the details of the items you are trying to merge. Ensure that both items have the same origin. You can do this by checking the shipping points or locations associated with each item.
  Adjust Item Details: If the items have different origins, you may need to adjust the details of one or both items to ensure they match. This could involve changing the shipping point or location to be the same.
  Re-evaluate Merge Criteria: If the items cannot be adjusted to have the same origin, consider whether merging them is necessary. You may need to handle them as separate items.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on merging items in SAP TM.
  Check Configuration: If you believe the configuration might be causing the issue, consult with your SAP administrator or a consultant to review the settings related to transportation management and item merging.
  
  Related Information:
