• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/VSS_OL027 - &1: Stop at &2 is fixed at &3 and outside acceptable times for pickup/del ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/VSS_OL027 indicates that there is an issue with the scheduling of a stop in the Transportation Management System (TMS). Specifically, the error message states that a stop is fixed at a certain time that is outside the acceptable time window for either pickup or delivery.
  Cause:
  
  
  Time Constraints: The scheduled time for the stop (either pickup or delivery) does not fall within the defined time windows set in the system. This could be due to:
  
  Incorrectly configured time windows in the master data (e.g., customer or vendor master).
  Changes in the transportation plan that have not been reflected in the time windows.
  External factors such as traffic, delays, or operational constraints that affect the expected arrival or departure times.
  
  
  
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters set in the TMS might not align with the actual operational capabilities or constraints.
  
  
  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data related to the locations involved, such as incorrect opening hours or holidays not being considered.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Time Windows: Check the time windows defined for the relevant stops (pickup/delivery) in the master data. Ensure that they are correctly set and reflect the actual operational capabilities.
  
  
  Adjust Scheduling: If the time windows are correct, consider adjusting the scheduling of the transportation order to ensure that the stops fall within the acceptable time frames.
  
  
  Check Planning Parameters: Review the planning parameters in the TMS configuration to ensure they are set correctly and align with the operational realities.
  
  
  Replan Transportation Order: If necessary, replan the transportation order to accommodate the time constraints. This may involve changing the route, adjusting the pickup/delivery times, or modifying the stops.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling this error message, as there may be additional context or steps based on your specific SAP version or configuration.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like /SCMTMS/ORDER to view and manage transportation orders, or /SCMTMS/VSS for the TMS cockpit.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is implemented, review any user exits or BAdIs that may affect the scheduling logic.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
