• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR220 - Cannot change loading type from &1 to &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR220 Cannot change loading type from &1 to &2 typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there is an attempt to change the loading type of a transportation order (TO) that is not allowed due to certain constraints or conditions.
  Cause:
  
  Incompatibility of Loading Types: The loading types being changed may not be compatible with the current state of the transportation order. For example, if the order is already in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., confirmed, in transit), the system will prevent the change.
  Configuration Settings: There may be configuration settings in the system that restrict changes to loading types based on certain criteria, such as the type of transportation or the status of the order.
  Dependencies on Other Objects: The loading type may be linked to other objects or processes (like freight agreements, shipment documents, etc.) that prevent changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Status of the Transportation Order: Ensure that the transportation order is in a status that allows changes. If it is in a locked or completed status, you may need to revert it to a status that allows modifications.
  Review Loading Type Compatibility: Verify that the loading types you are trying to switch between are compatible. Consult the documentation or configuration settings to understand the allowed transitions.
  Consult Configuration Settings: If you have access to the configuration settings, check if there are any restrictions set up for changing loading types. You may need to adjust these settings if they are too restrictive.
  Use the Correct Process: If the change is necessary, consider whether there is an alternative process to achieve your goal without changing the loading type directly. For example, creating a new transportation order with the desired loading type might be a viable option.
  Seek Help from SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They can provide insights based on the specific configuration and version of your SAP system.
