  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR535 Package unit cannot be created; no default PU type defined for FO type &1 typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM). This error indicates that the system is unable to create a Package Unit (PU) because there is no default Package Unit type defined for the Freight Order (FO) type specified in the error message.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The primary cause of this error is that the system lacks a default Package Unit type associated with the specific Freight Order type. This can happen if the configuration for Package Units has not been properly set up in the system.
  Incorrect Freight Order Type: The Freight Order type being used may not have a corresponding Package Unit type defined in the system.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the master data or configuration settings that prevent the system from determining the appropriate Package Unit type.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:

  Navigate to Logistics Execution > Transportation > Basic Transportation Functions > Define Package Unit Types.
  Ensure that there is a default Package Unit type defined for the Freight Order type in question.
  
  
  
  Assign Default Package Unit Type:
  
  If a default Package Unit type is not defined, you will need to create one or assign an existing Package Unit type to the Freight Order type.
  This can typically be done in the same configuration area where you define Package Unit types.
  
  
  
  Review Freight Order Type Settings:
  
  Check the settings for the specific Freight Order type to ensure that it is correctly configured to use Package Units.
  You can find this under Logistics Execution > Transportation > Basic Transportation Functions > Define Freight Order Types.

  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration steps, refer to the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or TM consultant for assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like SPRO for configuration, /SCMTMS/TOR for managing Transportation Orders, or /SCMTMS/PACKAGE for Package Unit management.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address known issues or provide additional guidance on configuring Package Units in your version of SAP TM.
