  Check Product Length: Verify the length of the product identifier or description that is being used. You can do this by navigating to the product master data in SAP and checking the relevant fields.
  
  
  Adjust Product Data: If the product identifier or description is indeed too long, consider shortening it. This may involve:
  
  Renaming the product to a shorter identifier.
  Using abbreviations or codes that are within the allowed length.
  
  
  
  Review Means of Transport Settings: Check the configuration settings for the means of transport in SAP TM. Ensure that the settings align with the product data being used. You may need to adjust the configuration if necessary.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific limits on product identifiers and descriptions for the means of transport you are using.
