• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TRQ315 - Shipping type &1 can no longer be changed ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TRQ315 Shipping type &1 can no longer be changed typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there is an attempt to modify the shipping type of a transportation request or shipment that has already been processed or is in a status that does not allow changes.
  Cause:
  
  Status of the Transportation Request: The transportation request or shipment may be in a status that prohibits changes. For example, if the request has already been confirmed, invoiced, or is in a completed state, the shipping type cannot be modified.
  Dependencies on Other Objects: The shipping type may be linked to other objects (like freight orders or deliveries) that have already been processed, making it impossible to change the shipping type without affecting those objects.
  Configuration Settings: There may be configuration settings in the system that restrict changes to certain fields once a document reaches a specific status.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Status: Review the status of the transportation request or shipment. If it is in a completed or locked status, you may need to reverse or cancel the document before making changes.
  Review Dependencies: Check if there are any dependent objects that are preventing the change. If there are linked documents, you may need to address those first.
  Consult Configuration: If you believe the change should be allowed, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to shipping types and document statuses.
  Use Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like /SCMTMS/TS (for Transportation Requests) or /SCMTMS/SH (for Shipments) to navigate to the relevant documents and check their details.
  Error Handling: If the change is necessary and cannot be done through the standard process, consider creating a new transportation request or shipment with the correct shipping type and then canceling the original one.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for Transportation Management for more details on document statuses and allowed changes.

  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user attempting to make the change has the necessary authorizations to modify transportation requests or shipments.
