• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/UI_MESSAGES642 - Values for fields &1 replaced with values assigned in Customizing ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/UI_MESSAGES642 indicates that certain values in the fields of a Transportation Management System (TMS) document have been replaced with values that are defined in the Customizing settings. This typically occurs when the system has specific rules or configurations that dictate which values should be used in certain scenarios, and it overrides the user-entered values.
  Cause:
  
  
  Customizing Settings: The most common cause of this error is that the values you entered in the fields do not comply with the settings defined in the Customizing (SPRO) for TMS. This could be due to:
  
  Mandatory fields that require specific values.
  Default values set in the Customizing that take precedence over user inputs.
  Validation rules that enforce certain conditions.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency: The system may be enforcing data consistency rules that require certain fields to have specific values based on the configuration.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Customizing Settings: Check the Customizing settings in SPRO related to TMS. Look for the specific configuration that pertains to the fields you are trying to enter values for. You may need to adjust these settings if they are too restrictive or not aligned with your business processes.
  
  
  Field Requirements: Ensure that the values you are trying to enter meet the requirements set in the Customizing. If certain fields are mandatory or have specific value ranges, make sure your inputs comply with these rules.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to TMS to understand the specific requirements for the fields in question.
  
  
  User Exits or BAdIs: If necessary, consider implementing user exits or Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) to customize the behavior of the system to better fit your business needs.
  
  
  Testing: After making any changes, test the process again to ensure that the error does not occur and that the values are being accepted as expected.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like SPRO to access Customizing settings or SE80 to look at the development objects if you are considering enhancements.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error message or provide additional context.
  Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who specializes in TMS.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution that allows you to enter the desired values without being overridden by the Customizing settings.
