  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR140 indicates that the Advanced Shipping Notification (ASN) or Air Waybill (AWB) type specified does not permit the processing of multiple order or delivery documents. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when trying to create or process a transportation order that is associated with a specific AWB type that has restrictions on the number of documents it can handle.
  Cause:
  
  AWB Type Restrictions: The AWB type you are using is configured in the system to only allow a single order or delivery document. This is common for certain types of shipments where regulations or business rules dictate that only one document can be associated with a shipment.
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the SAP system for the specific AWB type may not allow for multiple documents. This could be due to business requirements or compliance with shipping regulations.
  Data Entry Error: There may be an error in the data entry where multiple orders or deliveries are being incorrectly associated with a single AWB.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check AWB Type Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the AWB type in the SAP system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant customizing transaction (e.g., SPRO) and checking the settings under Transportation Management.
  
  Look for settings related to the AWB type and see if there is an option to allow multiple orders or deliveries.
  
  
  
  Use a Different AWB Type: If the current AWB type does not support multiple documents, consider using a different AWB type that does allow for this functionality, if applicable.
  
  
  Review Document Associations: Ensure that you are not inadvertently trying to associate multiple orders or deliveries with the same AWB. Check the documents you are trying to process and ensure they comply with the restrictions of the AWB type.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more information on the specific AWB type and its limitations.
