• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR160 - You can create freight orders for pick-up for containers only ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR160 indicates that you are trying to create a freight order for a pick-up that is not associated with a container. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when the system expects a container-related freight order but receives a request that does not meet the necessary criteria.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Freight Order Type: The system is configured to allow freight orders for pick-up only for containers. If you are trying to create a freight order for a different type of shipment (e.g., bulk goods, pallets, etc.), this error will occur.
  Missing Container Information: The freight order you are trying to create may not have the required container information associated with it.
  Configuration Settings: The system settings or business rules may be configured to restrict the creation of freight orders for pick-up to only those that involve containers.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Freight Order Type: Ensure that you are creating a freight order that is intended for containers. If your shipment does not involve containers, you may need to use a different order type.
  Add Container Information: If your shipment does involve containers, make sure that the relevant container details are included in the freight order. This may involve specifying the container type, number, and other related attributes.
  Review Configuration: If you believe that the freight order should be allowed without a container, review the configuration settings in SAP TM. You may need to consult with your SAP TM administrator or functional consultant to adjust the settings or business rules.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on freight order creation and the specific requirements for containers.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
