• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR657 - Cannot remove &1 (&2) of &3; requirements still assigned to this location ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR657 indicates that there is an attempt to remove a transportation requirement (TR) that is still assigned to a location. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when you are trying to delete or modify a transportation requirement that is still linked to certain locations or other objects in the system.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following reasons:
  
  Active Assignments: The transportation requirement you are trying to remove is still linked to one or more locations, meaning that there are still dependencies that prevent its deletion.
  Incomplete Processing: The transportation requirement may be in a state that requires it to be processed or completed before it can be removed.
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces data integrity rules to ensure that no orphaned records are left in the system, which is why it prevents the removal of the TR.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Assignments: Review the transportation requirement to see which locations or other objects it is still assigned to. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction in SAP TM and checking the details of the TR.
  
  
  Remove Dependencies: If the TR is still assigned to locations, you will need to either:
  
  Unassign the TR from those locations.
  Complete or process any outstanding tasks related to the TR.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize transaction codes such as /SCMTMS/TOR to view and manage transportation requirements. You can also use /SCMTMS/LOC to check the locations and their assignments.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for specific instructions on managing transportation requirements and their dependencies.
  
  
  Check for Related Objects: Ensure that there are no other related objects (like shipments, freight orders, etc.) that are still linked to the TR. If there are, you may need to handle those first.
  
  
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with SAP experts who can provide further assistance.
