• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR606 - Action not possible on stop; execution has started ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR606 Action not possible on stop; execution has started typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when you attempt to perform an action on a transportation order (TOR) that is already in execution or has started processing. This error indicates that the system does not allow certain actions to be taken on a TOR that is already in progress.
  Cause:
  
  Execution Started: The primary cause of this error is that the transportation order has already entered a state of execution. This means that the order is currently being processed, and certain actions (like stopping, modifying, or deleting) are restricted to maintain data integrity and process consistency.
  Incorrect Workflow: The action you are trying to perform may not be allowed in the current workflow state of the transportation order.
  System Configuration: There may be specific configurations or settings in the SAP TM system that restrict actions on transportation orders once they have started execution.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Status: Verify the current status of the transportation order. If it is in execution, you may need to wait until the execution is completed before attempting to perform the desired action.
  Review Workflow: Ensure that you are following the correct workflow for the transportation order. If you need to make changes, consider whether there are alternative actions that can be taken without disrupting the execution.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP TM documentation or help resources to understand the allowed actions for transportation orders in different states.
  Contact Support: If you believe that the action should be allowed or if you need to override the restriction, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
  System Configuration: If you have the necessary permissions, review the configuration settings in SAP TM to see if there are any restrictions that can be adjusted.

  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error and understand the limitations imposed by the system regarding transportation order management.
