• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/VSS_CHK023 - Loading times of child doc. &1 are different to those of parent doc. &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/VSS_CHK023 indicates that there is a discrepancy in the loading times between a child document and its parent document in the SAP Transportation Management System (TMS). This error typically arises when the loading times (or time windows) defined for the child document do not match those of the parent document, which can lead to inconsistencies in planning and execution.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch in Time Windows: The loading times for the child document (e.g., a shipment or delivery) are set differently from those of the parent document (e.g., a transportation requirement or order).
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be incorrect settings in the transportation planning or execution configuration that lead to this mismatch.
  Manual Changes: If the loading times were manually adjusted for either the parent or child document after they were created, this could lead to discrepancies.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Loading Times: Review the loading times for both the parent and child documents. Ensure that they are aligned and consistent. You can do this by navigating to the relevant documents in the SAP TMS and checking the time windows.
  
  
  Adjust Time Windows: If you find discrepancies, adjust the loading times of either the parent or child document to ensure they match. This can typically be done in the document details screen.
  
  
  Recreate Documents: If the documents are significantly misconfigured, consider recreating the child document with the correct loading times that match the parent document.
  
  
  Configuration Review: If this issue occurs frequently, review the configuration settings in the SAP TMS to ensure that the time windows are being set correctly during document creation.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on managing loading times and resolving discrepancies in TMS.
