• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR404 - Change strategy "&1" registered for asynchronous processing ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR404 indicates that a change strategy has been registered for asynchronous processing in the Transportation Management System (TMS). This error typically arises when there is an attempt to change or process a transportation order (TOR) that is currently being handled asynchronously, which can lead to conflicts or inconsistencies in the data.
  Cause:
  
  Asynchronous Processing: The change strategy for the transportation order is set to be processed asynchronously, meaning that the system is currently handling the order in the background. This can happen if there are ongoing processes or updates related to the transportation order.
  Concurrent Modifications: If multiple users or processes are trying to modify the same transportation order simultaneously, it can lead to this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the change strategies in the TMS settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait for Completion: If the transportation order is being processed asynchronously, wait for the current process to complete before attempting to make changes.
  Check Background Jobs: Use transaction codes like SM37 to check for any background jobs that might be processing the transportation order. If you find any jobs, you may need to wait for them to finish or investigate their status.
  Review Change Strategies: Check the configuration of the change strategies in TMS. Ensure that the settings are appropriate for your business processes and that there are no conflicts.
  Avoid Concurrent Changes: Ensure that no other users or processes are trying to modify the same transportation order at the same time. Implement proper locking mechanisms if necessary.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to TMS and the specific error message for any additional troubleshooting steps or updates.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SCMTMS/TOR for managing transportation orders and SM37 for monitoring background jobs.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide updates related to TMS.
  Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance, providing them with detailed information about the error and the context in which it occurred.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the /SCMTMS/TOR404 error and continue working with your transportation orders in SAP.
