• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR469 - You cannot change number of required drivers for business document &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR469 indicates that there is an issue with changing the number of required drivers for a specific business document in the SAP Transportation Management System (TMS). This error typically arises when there is an attempt to modify the number of drivers assigned to a transportation requirement or order that is already in a certain status or has been processed in a way that does not allow for changes.
  Cause:
  
  Status Restrictions: The business document (e.g., transportation order, shipment) may be in a status that does not permit changes to the number of required drivers. For example, if the document is already confirmed or has been processed, the system may lock certain fields to prevent modifications.
  Configuration Settings: There may be configuration settings in the TMS that restrict changes to the number of drivers once certain conditions are met.
  Data Integrity: The system may be enforcing data integrity rules that prevent changes to ensure that the transportation planning process remains consistent.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Status: Review the status of the business document. If it is in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., confirmed, completed), you may need to revert it to a previous status or create a new document.
  Review Configuration: Consult with your SAP TMS configuration team to understand if there are specific settings that restrict changes to the number of required drivers. Adjustments may be needed in the configuration.
  Use Alternative Methods: If you need to change the number of drivers, consider creating a new transportation requirement or order with the desired number of drivers instead of modifying an existing one.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific error message for additional insights or updates that may address the issue.
