• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TRQ163 - Only one item is allowed ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TRQ163: Only one item is allowed typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when you are trying to process a transportation request or a related document that is expected to contain only a single item, but multiple items are being provided instead.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Items in a Single Request: The error usually arises when a user attempts to create or process a transportation request that includes more than one item, while the system is configured to allow only one item per request.
  Configuration Settings: The system settings or the specific transaction you are using may be configured to restrict the number of items to one.
  Data Entry Error: There may be an unintentional error in data entry where multiple items were added to a request that should only contain one.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Request: Review the transportation request or document you are trying to process. Ensure that it contains only one item. If there are multiple items, you will need to split them into separate requests.
  Adjust Configuration: If your business process requires multiple items in a single request, you may need to review and adjust the configuration settings in SAP TM. This may involve consulting with your SAP administrator or a functional consultant to modify the settings.
  Use the Correct Transaction: Ensure that you are using the correct transaction or process that allows for multiple items if that is your requirement. Some transactions may inherently limit the number of items.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the transaction you are using. This can provide insights into any limitations or requirements.
