• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TSPS021 - Carrier &1 has zero costs for &2; it is not considered ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TSPS021 indicates that a specific carrier (denoted as &1) has been assigned zero costs for a particular transportation lane or route (denoted as &2). As a result, the system does not consider this carrier for the transportation planning process.
  Cause:
  
  Zero Cost Configuration: The carrier has been configured with zero costs for the specified transportation lane. This could be due to incorrect configuration or missing cost entries in the system.
  Cost Calculation Issues: There may be issues in the cost calculation logic or missing data that leads to the carrier being evaluated with zero costs.
  Master Data Issues: The master data for the carrier or the transportation lane may not be properly maintained, leading to the absence of cost information.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Carrier Cost Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the carrier's cost configuration in the SAP system.
  Ensure that the costs for the specified transportation lane are correctly maintained. If they are set to zero, update them with the appropriate cost values.
  
  
  
  Review Transportation Lane Settings:
  
  Check the settings for the transportation lane associated with the carrier.
  Ensure that all necessary parameters (like distance, weight, volume, etc.) are correctly defined, as these can affect cost calculations.
  
  
  
  Update Master Data:
  
  Verify that the master data for both the carrier and the transportation lane is complete and accurate.
  Make any necessary updates to ensure that all relevant information is available for cost calculations.
  
  
  
  Cost Calculation Logic:
  
  If custom logic is used for cost calculations, review the implementation to ensure it is functioning as expected.
  Check for any recent changes that might have affected the cost calculation process.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform tests to ensure that the carrier is now being considered in the transportation planning process.
