/SCMTMS/UI_MESSAGES046 - Details

• The SAP error message /SCMTMS/UI_MESSAGES046 indicates that you are trying to delete a standard layout in the SAP Transportation Management System (TMS), which is not allowed. Standard layouts are predefined configurations that come with the system and are intended to be used as-is or modified rather than deleted.
  
  Cause:
  
  Standard Layout Restriction: The layout you are attempting to delete is a standard layout provided by SAP, which cannot be removed from the system.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to modify or delete layouts, although this is less likely to be the cause for standard layouts.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Modify Instead of Delete: If you need to change the layout, consider modifying it instead of trying to delete it. You can create a custom layout based on the standard one and make the necessary adjustments.
  Create a Custom Layout: If you want a different layout, create a new custom layout that meets your requirements.
