• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR513 - Successive transit countries are identical; specify a different country ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR513 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of transit countries in the Transportation Management System (TMS). Specifically, this error occurs when the system detects that the successive transit countries specified in a transportation route are identical, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when the same country is specified as both the departure and arrival transit country in a transportation route. For example, if you have a route that goes from Country A to Country A (i.e., the same country), the system will not allow this configuration because it does not make logical sense for a transit route.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the transit countries specified in your transportation route are different. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check the Transportation Route Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction in SAP where you can view or edit transportation routes (e.g., /SCMTMS/ROUTE).
  Review the transit countries defined in the route.
  
  
  
  Modify the Transit Countries:
  
  Change the transit country to a different one that makes sense for your logistics process. Ensure that the route logically flows from one country to another without repeating the same country.
  
  
  
  Validate the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, save the configuration and try to execute the process again that was previously causing the error.
  
  
  
  Test the Route:
  
  Perform a test run of the transportation planning to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the route is functioning as expected.
