• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR_VAL020 - Stop &2 of &1 is not in sync with parent stop &3 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TOR_VAL020 indicates that there is a synchronization issue between a child stop and its parent stop in the Transportation Management System (TMS). This typically occurs in scenarios where there are multiple stops in a transportation order, and the system expects certain relationships or sequences between these stops.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Data Inconsistency: The child stop (Stop &2) does not have the expected relationship with the parent stop (Stop &3). This could be due to manual changes or incorrect data entry.
  Incorrect Sequence: The sequence of stops may not be correctly defined, leading to a mismatch in expected order.
  Missing or Incorrect Configuration: There may be missing configuration settings in the TMS that define how stops should relate to one another.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Stop Relationships:
  
  Review the transportation order and verify the relationships between the stops. Ensure that the child stop is correctly linked to the parent stop.
  
  
  
  Validate Data:
  
  Check for any inconsistencies in the data related to the stops. This includes verifying the stop types, sequences, and any other relevant attributes.
  
  
  
  Adjust Stop Sequence:
  
  If the sequence of stops is incorrect, adjust the order of the stops in the transportation order to ensure they are in sync.
  
  
  
  Recreate Stops:
  
  If the issue persists, consider deleting the problematic stops and recreating them to ensure that they are correctly linked.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to TMS for any specific guidelines or known issues regarding stop synchronization.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
