  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR_INT162 indicates that a freight document has both inbound and outbound delivery references, which is not allowed in the context of the Transportation Management System (TMS). This situation typically arises when a freight document is incorrectly configured or when there is a misunderstanding in the logistics process.

  Solution:
  
  Review Freight Document: Check the freight document in question to identify the inbound and outbound delivery references. Ensure that only one type of delivery is referenced.
  Correct the References: If both types of deliveries are present, you will need to remove one of them. This may involve creating separate freight documents for inbound and outbound deliveries.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in SAP TMS to ensure that the system is set up correctly to handle freight documents. This may involve consulting with your SAP Basis or TMS configuration team.
  Data Validation: Implement validation checks during the creation of freight documents to prevent this issue from occurring in the future. This can include user training or system checks to ensure that only valid delivery references are used.
