• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR629 - Arrival date at final destination must not be in the future ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR629 indicates that the arrival date at the final destination for a transportation order is set to a date that is in the future. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when trying to process or confirm a transportation order.
  Cause:
  
  Future Date Entry: The most common cause is that the user has entered a future date for the arrival at the final destination, which is not allowed by the system's validation rules.
  System Configuration: There may be specific configurations or settings in the SAP system that restrict the arrival date to be equal to or earlier than the current date.
  Data Inconsistency: There could be inconsistencies in the data being processed, such as incorrect planning or scheduling information.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Arrival Date: Review the transportation order and ensure that the arrival date at the final destination is set to the current date or a past date. If it is set to a future date, update it accordingly.
  Adjust Planning: If the transportation order is part of a larger planning process, ensure that all related dates (departure, transit times, etc.) are correctly aligned and do not lead to a future arrival date.
  Review Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP administrator or technical team to review the configuration settings related to transportation orders and arrival dates.
  Data Validation: Ensure that all relevant data (such as shipping points, routes, and schedules) is accurate and up-to-date to prevent future occurrences of this error.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling transportation order dates.
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP Transportation Management documentation for best practices on managing transportation orders and understanding date-related validations.
