• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TRQ175 - Forwarding quotation &1 exists for request &2; update not possible ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TRQ175 indicates that there is a forwarding quotation that already exists for a specific transportation request, and therefore, an update to that request is not possible. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when you are trying to modify a transportation request that has already been associated with a forwarding quotation.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Forwarding Quotation: The primary cause of this error is that a forwarding quotation has already been created for the transportation request you are trying to update. The system prevents changes to the request to maintain data integrity and consistency.
  Data Locking: The request may be locked due to ongoing processes or transactions that are being executed on it.
  Incorrect Process Flow: The update might be attempted in a sequence that is not allowed by the system's business logic.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Quotations: Review the existing forwarding quotations associated with the transportation request. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction in SAP TM and checking the details of the request.
  Delete or Modify Quotation: If the existing forwarding quotation is no longer needed, you may delete it or modify it as necessary. Ensure that you have the appropriate authorizations to perform these actions.
  Consult with Stakeholders: If the quotation is still needed, consult with relevant stakeholders to determine the best course of action. This may involve discussing whether the transportation request can be modified or if a new request should be created.
  Check for Locks: Ensure that there are no locks on the transportation request that might be preventing updates. You can use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks.
  Review Process Flow: Ensure that you are following the correct process flow as defined in your organization's SAP TM implementation. Sometimes, the error can arise from attempting to perform actions in an incorrect sequence.
  
  Related Information:
