• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR_INT016 - Element &1 of node &2 invalid: Val. &3 contradicts Customizing f. mode &4 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR_INT016 indicates that there is an inconsistency between the value of a specific element in a node and the customizing settings for the mode in the Transportation Management System (TMS). This error typically arises during the integration of transportation processes, such as when creating or processing transportation orders.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when:
  
  The value of the specified element (denoted as &3) does not align with the expected value defined in the customizing settings for the mode (denoted as &4).
  This could be due to incorrect configuration in the TMS settings, where the system expects a certain value based on the mode of transportation but receives a different one.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Elements:
  
  Check the error message for the specific element (&1) and node (&2) that is causing the issue. This will help you understand which part of the configuration is problematic.
  
  
  
  Review Customizing Settings:
  
  Go to the TMS customizing settings in SAP (Transaction SPRO).
  Navigate to the relevant section for transportation modes and check the configuration for the mode (&4) mentioned in the error message.
  Ensure that the values defined in the customizing settings match the values being used in the transaction.
  
  
  
  Correct the Values:
  
  If the value (&3) being used in the transaction is incorrect, update it to match the expected value as per the customizing settings.
  If the customizing settings are incorrect, modify them to allow for the value being used.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, re-attempt the transaction that triggered the error to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct values or settings, refer to SAP documentation or consult with a functional consultant who specializes in SAP TMS.
