• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/UI_MESSAGES403 - Navigation not possible; object was not saved or no longer exists ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/UI_MESSAGES403 Navigation not possible; object was not saved or no longer exists typically occurs in the SAP Transportation Management System (TMS) when a user attempts to navigate to an object (like a transportation order, shipment, or other related documents) that either has not been saved or has been deleted or is otherwise unavailable.
  Causes:
  
  Unsaved Changes: The object you are trying to navigate to may not have been saved properly. If you created or modified an object and did not save it, the system will not be able to find it.
  Object Deletion: The object may have been deleted by another user or through a batch job, making it unavailable for navigation.
  Session Timeout: If your session has timed out, the system may not recognize the object you are trying to access.
  Authorization Issues: You may not have the necessary permissions to view or access the object.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the database or issues with the transport layer that prevent the object from being accessed.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Object Status: Verify if the object you are trying to access still exists. You can do this by searching for it in the relevant transaction or using the appropriate report.
  Save Changes: If you have made changes to an object, ensure that you save it before attempting to navigate away.
  Refresh Session: Log out and log back into the SAP system to refresh your session. This can help if the issue is related to session timeout.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the object. You may need to contact your system administrator for assistance.
  Consult Logs: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any related error messages that might provide more context about the issue.
  Database Consistency Check: If you suspect data consistency issues, you may need to run consistency checks or consult with your technical team to investigate further.
