  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR651 indicates that there is an attempt to change both the items and the locations of a transportation order simultaneously, which is not allowed in the system. This restriction is in place to maintain data integrity and ensure that the transportation order is processed correctly.

  After the first change is saved, then proceed to change the locations and save again.
  
  
  
  Review Business Process: Ensure that your business process allows for such changes. If simultaneous changes are necessary, consider reviewing the process to see if it can be adjusted to comply with the system's restrictions.
  
  
  Check User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to the transportation order. Sometimes, restrictions can be related to user roles and permissions.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the Transportation Management System (TMS) for more detailed information on handling transportation orders.
