• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR372 - Locally changed item &1 overwritten after update of referenced item ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR372 indicates that a locally changed item has been overwritten after an update of a referenced item in the Transportation Management System (TMS). This typically occurs when there are changes made to a transportation order or related object that conflict with updates made to the referenced item.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Updates: The error often arises when multiple users or processes are trying to update the same transportation order or related items simultaneously.
  Data Consistency: The system detects that a locally modified item (e.g., a transportation order) has been changed after it was referenced or linked to another item, leading to potential data inconsistency.
  System Logic: The logic in the TMS may enforce rules that prevent overwriting local changes to ensure data integrity.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Changes: Check the changes made to the transportation order or related items. Identify if there are any conflicting updates that need to be resolved.
  Revert Local Changes: If possible, revert the local changes to the item that was overwritten. This may involve restoring the previous state of the transportation order.
  Synchronize Updates: Ensure that updates to transportation orders are synchronized among users. Implement a process to avoid concurrent modifications.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your application logic to catch this error and provide a user-friendly message or prompt to resolve the conflict.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to TMS for any specific guidelines or patches that may address this issue.
