  The SAP error message /SCTM/BAPI113 &1, Schedule &2, cal. &3: departure time already exists (No insertion) typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there is an attempt to insert a schedule entry that conflicts with an existing entry. This error indicates that the departure time you are trying to set for a specific schedule already exists in the system, which prevents the insertion of the new schedule entry.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Departure Time: The most common cause of this error is that the departure time you are trying to insert for a specific schedule already exists in the database. SAP TM does not allow duplicate departure times for the same schedule to maintain data integrity.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may be a mistake in the data entry, such as entering the wrong schedule or calendar.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to enforce strict rules regarding schedule entries, which could lead to this error if not properly managed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Entries: Review the existing schedule entries for the specified schedule and calendar to identify if the departure time already exists. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction in SAP TM and checking the schedule details.
  Modify Departure Time: If the departure time is indeed a duplicate, consider modifying the new entry to a different time that does not conflict with existing entries.
  Delete or Adjust Existing Entry: If the existing entry is no longer needed, you may delete or adjust it to allow for the new entry.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help resources for any specific rules or configurations that may apply to your scenario.
  Error Handling in BAPIs: If you are using a BAPI to insert the schedule, ensure that your error handling logic is robust enough to manage such conflicts gracefully.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP TM, such as /SCMTMS/ for Transportation Management, to navigate and manage schedules effectively.

  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to modify schedule entries in the system.
  Testing: If you are developing or testing a new integration or process, consider using a test environment to avoid impacting production data.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully manage your schedule entries in SAP TM.
