• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TS_PROF305 - Transit rule &1 &2 has departures in the past; the system ignores them ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TS_PROF305 indicates that there are transit rules in the Transportation Management System (TMS) that have departure times set in the past. This means that the system is unable to process these transit rules because they are not valid for the current date and time.

  Check Time Zone Settings: Ensure that the time zone settings in your SAP system are correctly configured, as discrepancies can lead to confusion regarding past and future times.
