• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TRQ212 - &1 ship-to party &2 cannot be changed ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TRQ212 &1 ship-to party &2 cannot be changed typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there is an attempt to change the ship-to party in a transportation request or related document, but the system prevents this change due to certain constraints.
  Cause:
  
  Document Status: The transportation request or related document may be in a status that does not allow changes. For example, if the document is already confirmed or has been processed in a way that locks certain fields, changes may not be permitted.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies on the ship-to party that prevent changes. For instance, if the ship-to party is linked to specific freight agreements, contracts, or other logistics processes, changing it could disrupt these links.
  Configuration Settings: The system configuration may restrict changes to certain fields based on business rules or settings defined in the customizing of SAP TM.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Status: Review the status of the transportation request or related document. If it is in a status that does not allow changes, you may need to revert it to a previous status or create a new document.
  Review Dependencies: Investigate any dependencies related to the ship-to party. If there are linked documents or agreements, you may need to adjust those first before changing the ship-to party.
  Consult Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP TM configuration team to understand if there are specific settings that prevent changes to the ship-to party. They may need to adjust the configuration or provide guidance on how to proceed.
  Create a New Document: If changing the ship-to party is not possible, consider creating a new transportation request with the desired ship-to party and canceling the original request if necessary.
