• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TRQ605 - Value for &1 exceeds allowed max. value of &2; consider changing UoM ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TRQ605 Value for &1 exceeds allowed max. value of &2; consider changing UoM typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when a value related to a transportation request or shipment exceeds the maximum allowable limit defined for a specific unit of measure (UoM).
  Cause:
  
  
  Exceeding Maximum Value: The error indicates that the quantity or value you are trying to enter for a specific item exceeds the maximum limit set for that unit of measure. This can happen if:
  
  The quantity of goods being transported is too high for the defined UoM.
  The configuration of the UoM in the system does not allow for such high values.
  
  
  
  Incorrect UoM: The UoM being used may not be appropriate for the quantity being processed. For example, if you are trying to enter a large quantity in a UoM that is typically used for smaller quantities (like pieces instead of pallets), it can trigger this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check UoM Configuration: Review the configuration of the UoM in the system. Ensure that the maximum values set for the UoM are appropriate for the quantities you are working with. You may need to adjust the maximum limits if they are too restrictive.
  
  
  Change UoM: If the current UoM is not suitable for the quantity you are trying to enter, consider changing the UoM to one that can accommodate the larger value. For example, if you are trying to enter a large quantity in "pieces," you might switch to "pallets" or another UoM that can handle larger quantities.
  
  
  Adjust Quantity: If changing the UoM is not feasible, consider adjusting the quantity you are trying to enter to fit within the allowed maximum value for the current UoM.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on UoM settings and limits in your version of SAP TM.
  
  
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who can provide further assistance.
