  Check SCAC Configuration:
  
  Go to the customizing transaction (SPRO) and navigate to the relevant section for Transportation Management.
  Check the configuration for SCACs under the path: Transportation Management -> Basic Settings -> Carrier Management -> Define Carriers.

  Ensure that the SCAC is associated with the correct transport mode (e.g., truck, rail, air).
  Check if the SCAC is active and available for the transportation scenario you are working with.
  
  
  
  Check for Typos:
