  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TS_PROF413 indicates that there is an issue with the transport planning in the SAP Transportation Management System (TM). Specifically, the error states that "Container resources do not have a means of transport; clear the MTr." This typically means that the system is unable to find a suitable means of transport for the container resources defined in the transportation planning.

  Review Master Data:

  Consult Documentation:
