• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR676 - Cannot change location &1; requirements assigned to successor ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR676 Cannot change location &1; requirements assigned to successor typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there is an attempt to change a location (such as a shipping point or a warehouse) that is currently linked to existing transportation requirements or successor documents.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Requirements: The location you are trying to change has transportation requirements (like shipments, deliveries, etc.) that are already assigned to it. This means that the system is preventing changes to maintain data integrity.
  Successor Documents: If there are successor documents (like follow-up documents) that depend on the current location, the system will not allow changes to avoid inconsistencies.

  Check Dependencies: Review the transportation requirements and any successor documents associated with the location. You may need to either delete or modify these dependencies before changing the location.
  Change Location in a Different Context: If possible, consider changing the location in a context where there are no active requirements or successor documents.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on handling transportation requirements and locations.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (like /SCMTMS/TOR for transportation order management) to analyze the current state of the location and its dependencies.
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
