• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR142 - Agreement party should be the same for main carriage and on-carriage ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR142 indicates that there is a mismatch in the agreement parties for the main carriage and the on-carriage in the Transportation Management System (TMS). This error typically arises when the system detects that the parties involved in the main transportation leg (main carriage) and the subsequent transportation leg (on-carriage) are not the same, which is a requirement for certain transportation scenarios.
  Cause:
  
  Different Agreement Parties: The main carriage and on-carriage are set up with different parties (e.g., different carriers or service providers).
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the TMS that enforce the requirement for the same agreement party for both legs of the transportation.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry during the creation of transportation orders or agreements can lead to this mismatch.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Agreement Parties: Review the transportation order and ensure that the agreement parties for both the main carriage and on-carriage are the same. This can be done in the TMS transaction where the transportation order is created or modified.
  Modify Transportation Order: If there is a mismatch, modify the transportation order to ensure that both legs have the same agreement party. This may involve changing the carrier or service provider for one of the legs.
  Review Configuration: If this error occurs frequently, review the configuration settings in the TMS to understand if there are specific rules or settings that enforce this requirement. Adjust the configuration if necessary.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on managing transportation orders and agreements.
