• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR416 - Save strategy "&1" is processed synchronously ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR416 Save strategy "&1" is processed synchronously typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there is an issue related to the save strategy configuration for transportation orders or related objects. This error indicates that the specified save strategy is being executed synchronously, which may not be the intended behavior or could lead to performance issues.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issue: The save strategy defined in the system may not be set up correctly, leading to it being processed synchronously instead of asynchronously.
  System Performance: If the system is configured to handle certain operations synchronously, it may lead to performance bottlenecks, especially if the operation is expected to be asynchronous.
  Custom Code: If there are custom enhancements or modifications in the system, they might be affecting the save strategy's behavior.
  Transport Layer Issues: There could be issues with the transport layer or the way the data is being processed, leading to synchronous execution.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the save strategy in the SAP TM system. Ensure that the save strategy is set up to be processed asynchronously if that is the desired behavior.
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration settings in SPRO (SAP Project Reference Object) and check the settings under Transportation Management.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code: If there are any custom developments or enhancements, review them to ensure they are not inadvertently forcing synchronous processing.
  
  
  Performance Tuning: If the synchronous processing is causing performance issues, consider optimizing the related processes or configurations to allow for asynchronous processing.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide guidance on configuration changes. You can search for notes related to /SCMTMS/TOR416 in the SAP Support Portal.
  
  
  Testing: After making any changes, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the save strategy behaves as expected and that the error does not recur.
