  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/UI_MESSAGES056 - Enter complete path and file name ?

    The SAP error message /SCMTMS/UI_MESSAGES056 Enter complete path and file name typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when a user is trying to upload a file or specify a file path but has not provided a complete or valid file path and name.

    Cause:

    1. Incomplete File Path: The user has not entered a complete path to the file, which includes the drive letter, folder structure, and file name.
    2. Invalid Characters: The file path may contain invalid characters that are not allowed in file names or paths.
    3. File Not Found: The specified file does not exist at the given path.
    4. Permissions Issue: The user may not have the necessary permissions to access the specified file or directory.

    Solution:

    1. Check File Path: Ensure that you are entering the complete path and file name. For example, instead of just file.txt, use C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents\file.txt.
    2. Verify File Existence: Make sure that the file you are trying to access actually exists at the specified location.
    3. Avoid Invalid Characters: Check for any invalid characters in the file name or path. Common invalid characters include *, ?, <, >, |, and : (except for the drive letter).
    4. Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access the file and the directory it is located in. You may need to contact your system administrator for assistance.
    5. Use SAP GUI: If you are using a web interface, try using the SAP GUI instead, as it may handle file paths differently.
