  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/UI_MESSAGES657 indicates that you are trying to display a freight agreement Request for Quotation (RFQ) that is classified as a "sealed bid." In the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM), a sealed bid means that the details of the bid are confidential and cannot be viewed by users who do not have the appropriate permissions or roles.

  The user attempting to access the RFQ does not have the necessary authorization to view sealed bids.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Permissions:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles and authorizations to view sealed bids. This may involve checking the user's role assignments in the SAP system and ensuring they have access to the relevant transaction codes and objects.
  
  
  
  Review RFQ Settings:
  
  If you are an administrator or have the necessary permissions, review the settings of the RFQ to determine if it should remain a sealed bid. If it is appropriate to change its status, you can do so in the RFQ settings.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your SAP Administrator:
  
  If you are unsure about the permissions or the settings, consult with your SAP administrator or the team responsible for managing SAP TM. They can provide insights into the configuration and help adjust permissions if necessary.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Access:
  
  If you need to view the RFQ urgently and do not have the required permissions, you may need to ask someone who has the appropriate access to retrieve the information for you.
