• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TSPS_OPT034 - Sum of minimum capacities of TALs for carrier &1 exceed demand ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TSPS_OPT034 indicates that the sum of the minimum capacities of Transportation Allocation Levels (TALs) for a specific carrier exceeds the demand for transportation. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when trying to allocate transportation resources to meet a specific demand.
  Cause:
  
  Excess Capacity Configuration: The minimum capacities defined for the TALs associated with the carrier are set too high, leading to a situation where the total minimum capacity exceeds the actual demand.
  Demand Mismatch: The demand for transportation may be lower than the minimum capacity requirements set for the TALs.
  Incorrect TAL Settings: There may be misconfigurations in the TAL settings, such as incorrect minimum capacity values or incorrect assignment of TALs to the carrier.
  Carrier Constraints: The carrier may have constraints that are not aligned with the demand, leading to an over-allocation of resources.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review TAL Configurations: Check the minimum capacity settings for the TALs associated with the carrier. Adjust the minimum capacities to ensure they are in line with the actual demand.
  Adjust Demand: If possible, increase the demand to match the minimum capacities of the TALs. This may involve adjusting the transportation requests or orders.
  Re-evaluate Carrier Selection: If the carrier's minimum capacity cannot be adjusted, consider selecting a different carrier with more appropriate capacity settings for the given demand.
  Check for Overlapping TALs: Ensure that there are no overlapping TALs that might be causing the total minimum capacity to exceed the demand.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on configuring TALs and understanding capacity settings.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuring TALs and capacity settings.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have implemented.
  Training and Documentation: Review SAP TM training materials and documentation to better understand how to configure transportation resources and manage capacities effectively.
  
  By addressing the underlying causes and implementing the suggested solutions, you should be able to resolve the error message and ensure that your transportation allocation is functioning correctly.
