  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR278 indicates that there is an issue with transportation units that have been triangulated. Triangulation in transportation refers to a situation where a transportation unit (like a truck or container) is used to transport goods from one location to another, and then it is used again to transport goods back to the original location or to a different location, often involving multiple parties.
  Cause:

  Triangulation Logic: The system has detected that the transportation units involved in the transaction are part of a triangulation scenario, which may not be allowed or properly configured in your system.

  Adjust the Transportation Order: If the triangulation is not intended, you may need to adjust the transportation order or the involved transportation units to avoid the triangulation scenario.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on triangulation and how it is handled in your version of SAP TM.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot find a resolution, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They can provide insights specific to your system configuration and help troubleshoot the issue.
