  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TRQ697 indicates that there is an inconsistency in the source locations of the items in a transportation request or shipment. Specifically, it means that all items must have the same source location at the header level for the calculation to proceed.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises in the following scenarios:
  
  Multiple Source Locations: The transportation request or shipment contains items that originate from different source locations. SAP requires that all items in a single transportation request have the same source location to perform certain calculations.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be a mistake in the data entry where items were assigned different source locations unintentionally.
  Master Data Issues: The master data for the materials or products may not be consistent, leading to different source locations being assigned.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Source Locations:
  
  Review the items in the transportation request or shipment and verify their source locations.
  Ensure that all items have the same source location. If they do not, you will need to either change the source location of some items or create separate transportation requests for items with different source locations.
  
  
  
  Modify Transportation Request:
  
  If you find that the items should indeed have the same source location, modify the transportation request to ensure consistency.
  You can do this by editing the items in the transportation request and aligning their source locations.
  
  
  
  Create Separate Requests:
  
  If the items genuinely need to come from different source locations, consider creating separate transportation requests for each source location.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Check the master data for the materials involved to ensure that the source locations are correctly defined and consistent.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on handling transportation requests and understanding the implications of source locations.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional context.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to transportation management, such as /SCMTMS/PRT for managing transportation requests.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to modify transportation requests and access master data.
