• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/VSS_CHK009 - Wrong duration for &1 at loc. &2. Expected duration &3 is currently &4 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/VSS_CHK009 indicates that there is a discrepancy in the expected duration of a transportation operation compared to the actual duration recorded in the system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when the system checks the validity of the transportation durations defined for specific locations or operations.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when:
  
  The expected duration for a transportation operation (e.g., loading, unloading, transit time) at a specific location does not match the actual duration recorded in the system.
  This could be due to incorrect configuration settings, such as transportation durations defined in the master data (e.g., location master data, transportation lanes).
  It may also occur if there are changes in the transportation process that have not been updated in the system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the transportation durations defined in the master data for the relevant locations. Ensure that the expected duration matches the operational realities.
  Navigate to the relevant configuration settings in SAP TM and verify the transportation lanes, loading/unloading times, and any other related parameters.
  
  
  
  Update Master Data:
  
  If the expected duration is incorrect, update the master data for the locations involved. This may include adjusting the loading/unloading times or transit durations.
  
  
  
  Review Transportation Orders:
  
  Check the specific transportation order or shipment that triggered the error. Look for any discrepancies in the planned vs. actual durations.
  If there were delays or changes in the transportation process, update the transportation order accordingly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for further insights into the specific error message and its implications.
  
  
  
  Testing:
