• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/UI_MESSAGES026 - Freight document not created; too many objects selected ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/UI_MESSAGES026 indicates that a freight document could not be created because too many objects were selected in the Transportation Management System (TMS). This typically occurs when a user attempts to create a freight document for a large number of transportation requests or shipments at once, exceeding the system's limits.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Selection Limits: The system has a predefined limit on the number of objects (e.g., transportation requests, shipments) that can be processed simultaneously. If the user selects more than this limit, the error is triggered.
  System Configuration: The limits may be set in the system configuration, which can vary based on the organization's settings and performance considerations.
  
  Solution:
  
  Reduce Selection Size: Instead of selecting a large number of objects, try to create the freight document for a smaller batch. Break down the selection into smaller groups that are within the acceptable limits.
  Check System Configuration: Consult with your SAP Basis or TMS administrator to check if the limits can be adjusted in the system configuration. If necessary, they can modify the settings to allow for a larger number of objects to be processed at once.
  Use Filters: Utilize filters to narrow down the selection criteria, ensuring that only the necessary objects are selected for freight document creation.
  Review Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for any specific guidelines regarding the limits for freight document creation in your version of SAP TMS.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling large selections in TMS.
  Performance Considerations: Be aware that processing a large number of objects at once can impact system performance. It is often better to process in smaller batches to ensure system stability and performance.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on best practices for selecting objects in TMS to avoid hitting these limits in the future.
