• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR155 - Carrier of predecessor documents is different from carrier of document ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR155 indicates that there is a mismatch between the carrier of a predecessor document and the carrier of the current document in the Transportation Management System (TMS). This typically occurs when you are trying to create or process a transportation order (TO) that references another document (like a shipment or a freight order) that has a different carrier assigned.
  Cause:
  
  Carrier Mismatch: The most common cause is that the predecessor document (e.g., a shipment or freight order) has a different carrier than the one assigned to the current transportation order.
  Document Configuration: There may be configuration settings in the TMS that enforce strict carrier matching rules.
  Manual Changes: If manual changes were made to the carrier assignment in either the predecessor or current document, this could lead to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Carrier Assignments: Review the carrier assignments for both the predecessor document and the current document. Ensure that they match.
  
  You can do this by navigating to the relevant documents in the TMS and checking the carrier field.
  
  
  
  Update Carrier Information: If the carriers do not match, you will need to update the carrier in either the predecessor or the current document to ensure they are the same.
  
  If the predecessor document is correct, update the current document to match its carrier.
  Conversely, if the current document is correct, you may need to update the predecessor document.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings: If this issue occurs frequently, review the configuration settings in TMS to see if there are any rules or settings that enforce carrier matching. Adjust these settings if necessary, but be cautious as this may affect other processes.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on handling carrier assignments and related error messages.
