• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/UI_MESSAGES458 - Type &2 of doc. &1 is not a type where "Same Loc. and BPs" is selected ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/UI_MESSAGES458 indicates that there is an issue with the document type configuration in the SAP Transportation Management (TM) system. Specifically, the error states that the document type you are working with does not have the "Same Location and Business Partners" (Same Loc. and BPs) option selected, which is required for the operation you are trying to perform.
  Cause:
  
  Document Type Configuration: The document type (denoted as &1) you are using is not configured to allow the same location and business partners. This configuration is typically set in the customizing settings of SAP TM.
  Business Process Requirements: The business process you are trying to execute may require that the same location and business partners be allowed for the document type in question, but the current configuration does not support this.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Document Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (IMG).
  Navigate to the relevant section for Transportation Management.
  Look for the configuration settings related to document types (e.g., Transportation Order, Freight Order).
  Ensure that the "Same Location and Business Partners" option is selected for the document type you are using.
  
  
  
  Adjust Business Process:
  
  If the document type cannot be changed to allow the same location and business partners, consider whether the business process can be adjusted to use a different document type that does support this feature.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or help files related to Transportation Management to understand the implications of changing document type settings.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the process again to ensure that the error is resolved and that the system behaves as expected.
