  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR468 indicates that you are trying to change the driver assignment type for a transportation document that is marked as "fixed." This typically means that the document has been locked or finalized in a way that prevents further modifications to its driver assignment.
  Cause:
  
  Fixed Document: The transportation document (like a shipment or transport order) has been set to a fixed status, which means it cannot be modified. This could be due to various reasons, such as the document being in a completed state, already processed, or locked by another user or process.

  Check Document Status: Review the status of the transportation document. If it is indeed fixed, you may need to determine if it can be unlocked or if a new document needs to be created.
  Unlock Document: If you have the necessary permissions, you may be able to unlock the document. This typically involves changing its status or using a specific transaction to release the lock.
  Create a New Document: If the document cannot be modified, consider creating a new transportation document with the desired driver assignment type.
  Consult with Your Team: If you are unsure about the implications of changing the document status or creating a new document, consult with your logistics or transportation management team to ensure compliance with business processes.
  Check Configuration: If this is a recurring issue, it may be worth reviewing the configuration settings in your SAP system related to transportation management to see if adjustments can be made to allow for more flexibility in document handling.
