• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR_OH019 - Cannot save data; consecutive hierarchy levels have same object type ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR_OH019 indicates that there is an issue with the hierarchy levels in the Transportation Management System (TMS) where consecutive hierarchy levels have the same object type. This typically occurs when you are trying to save a hierarchy structure (like a transportation network or a similar configuration) that violates the rules of hierarchy definition in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Consecutive Levels with Same Object Type: The error arises when two or more consecutive levels in the hierarchy are defined with the same object type. For example, if you have two nodes in a hierarchy that are both defined as "Location" or "Carrier", it will trigger this error.
  Incorrect Configuration: This can happen due to incorrect configuration or data entry while setting up the hierarchy in the TMS.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be issues with the data integrity where the system detects that the hierarchy does not conform to the expected structure.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Hierarchy Structure: Check the hierarchy structure you are trying to save. Ensure that consecutive levels do not have the same object type. For example, if you have a "Location" level, the next level should be a different type, such as "Carrier" or "Route".
  Modify Object Types: If you find consecutive levels with the same object type, modify one of the levels to use a different object type that is appropriate for the hierarchy.
  Check Configuration Settings: Review the configuration settings in the TMS to ensure that they are set up correctly and that there are no misconfigurations leading to this error.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on setting up hierarchies correctly in TMS.
  Testing: After making changes, test the hierarchy structure again to ensure that it can be saved without triggering the error.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance on hierarchy configurations in TMS.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to TMS configuration, such as /SCMTMS/ for various TMS-related activities.
