• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR677 - Split is not permitted for stage &1; only for main carriage ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR677 Split is not permitted for stage &1; only for main carriage typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there is an attempt to split a transportation order (TO) for a stage that does not allow splitting. This error is specifically related to the handling of transportation orders and their stages in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Stage Type: The error indicates that the stage you are trying to split is not configured to allow splitting. In SAP TM, certain stages (like main carriage) may have specific rules that prevent them from being split into multiple parts.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings for the transportation order or the specific stage may not allow for splitting. This could be due to business rules or settings defined in the system.
  Order Status: The status of the transportation order may also play a role. If the order is in a certain status (e.g., completed, closed), splitting may not be allowed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Stage Configuration: Review the configuration of the transportation stages in your SAP TM system. Ensure that the stage you are trying to split is set up to allow splitting if that is the desired behavior.
  Review Business Rules: Consult with your business process owners or SAP TM consultants to understand the business rules governing the transportation orders. If splitting is necessary, they may need to adjust the rules or configurations.
  Use Main Carriage for Splitting: If the stage you are trying to split is not allowed, consider whether you can perform the split at the main carriage level instead, as the error message suggests that splitting is permitted only for main carriage stages.
  Check Order Status: Ensure that the transportation order is in a status that allows for modifications, including splitting. If the order is completed or closed, you may need to reopen it or create a new order.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for Transportation Management for detailed information on transportation order management and stage configurations.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling transportation orders.
  Community Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or user groups where similar issues may have been discussed, and solutions shared.
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, it may be beneficial to involve your SAP support team or a consultant with expertise in SAP TM for further investigation and resolution.
