• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR728 - Resource &1 is already assigned and is not a multi-resource ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR728 Resource &1 is already assigned and is not a multi-resource typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when you are trying to assign a resource (like a vehicle or a driver) to a transportation order or a shipment, but that resource is already assigned to another transportation order and is not configured as a multi-resource.
  Cause:
  
  Single Assignment: The resource you are trying to assign is configured to allow only a single assignment at a time. This means it cannot be assigned to multiple transportation orders simultaneously.
  Existing Assignment: The resource is already assigned to another transportation order, which prevents it from being assigned to the new order you are trying to process.
  Resource Configuration: The resource is not set up as a multi-resource in the system, which would allow it to be assigned to multiple orders.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Current Assignments: Review the current assignments of the resource in question. You can do this by navigating to the resource management section in SAP TM and checking which transportation order the resource is currently assigned to.
  Reassign or Release Resource: If the resource is currently assigned to another order and you need it for a new order, you may need to release it from the current assignment. This can be done by:
  
  Navigating to the existing transportation order.
  Removing the resource from that order.
  Then, you can assign it to the new transportation order.
  
  
  Configure as Multi-Resource: If it is a common requirement to have the resource assigned to multiple orders, consider configuring the resource as a multi-resource. This involves changing the resource settings in the system to allow multiple assignments.
  Use Alternative Resources: If the resource cannot be released or configured as a multi-resource, consider using an alternative resource that is available for assignment.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Resource Management in SAP TM: Understanding how resources are managed in SAP TM can help in troubleshooting similar issues. Resources can include vehicles, drivers, and other assets.
