• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TRQ450 - Cannot create freight document; mandatory default route exists ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TRQ450 Cannot create freight document; mandatory default route exists typically occurs in the SAP Transportation Management System (TM) when there is an attempt to create a freight document, but the system detects that a mandatory default route is defined for the transportation request or shipment. This means that the system expects a specific route to be used, and it cannot proceed without it.
  Cause:
  
  Mandatory Default Route: The error indicates that there is a mandatory default route configured in the system for the transportation request. This route must be used for the freight document to be created.
  Missing Route Assignment: The transportation request or shipment may not have a valid route assigned, or the assigned route does not meet the criteria set for mandatory routes.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the transportation management settings, particularly in the route determination process.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Route Assignment:
  
  Go to the transportation request or shipment in question and check if a route has been assigned.
  If a route is missing, you may need to assign a valid route that complies with the mandatory default route requirement.
  
  
  
  Review Default Route Settings:
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for transportation management and review the settings for default routes.
  Ensure that the mandatory default route is correctly defined and that it is applicable to the transportation request.
  
  
  
  Adjust Route Determination:
  
  If necessary, adjust the route determination settings to ensure that the system can find a suitable route based on the criteria defined.
  You may need to consult with your SAP TM configuration team to ensure that the route determination logic is correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help notes related to transportation management and route determination for additional insights and troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making any changes, test the creation of the freight document again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
