• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TRQ720 - Forwarding quotation has already been assigned ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TRQ720 indicates that a forwarding quotation has already been assigned to a transportation requirement or another object in the SAP Transportation Management (TM) module. This typically occurs when there is an attempt to assign a forwarding quotation that has already been linked to a different transportation requirement or when the same quotation is being processed multiple times.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Assignment: The forwarding quotation is already assigned to another transportation requirement.
  Incorrect Processing: The user may be trying to assign the same quotation to multiple transportation requirements without proper handling.
  System Configuration: There may be configuration settings that prevent the reassignment of quotations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Assignments: 
  
  Navigate to the transportation requirement or the object you are trying to assign the quotation to and check if the quotation is already linked.
  Use transaction codes like /SCMTMS/TRA (for transportation requirements) to view existing assignments.
  
  
  
  Unassign the Quotation:
  
  If the quotation is assigned to a different transportation requirement and you need to reassign it, you may need to unassign it first from the current requirement.
  This can typically be done in the TM interface by selecting the relevant transportation requirement and removing the assignment.
  
  
  
  Create a New Quotation:
  
  If the original quotation is still needed for the other requirement, consider creating a new forwarding quotation for the new transportation requirement.
