  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR259 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of transportation order types in the SAP Transportation Management (TM) system. Specifically, the error states that only one default type is allowed, and it lists the currently checked types.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when there are multiple transportation order types configured as default in the system. In SAP TM, you can define various transportation order types, but only one can be set as the default for a specific configuration. When the system encounters multiple default types, it raises this error to prevent ambiguity in processing.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to check the configuration of transportation order types in your SAP TM system and ensure that only one type is marked as the default. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen and navigate to the configuration for transportation management.
  You can typically find this under SPRO (SAP Project Reference Object) -> Logistics Execution -> Transportation -> Basic Settings -> Define Transportation Order Types.
  
  
  
  Check Default Settings:
  
  In the configuration for transportation order types, review the list of order types.
  Identify which order types are currently set as default. You may find that more than one type is marked as default.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Default Type:
  
  If you find multiple default types, you need to decide which one should remain as the default.
  Change the settings to ensure that only one transportation order type is marked as default. You can do this by unchecking the default option for the other types.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After saving, perform a test to ensure that the error no longer occurs when creating or processing transportation orders.
