Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCTM/TMMD_UI132 - Location &1 is already directly included in &2 zone(s) ?

  The SAP error message /SCTM/TMMD_UI132 indicates that a location you are trying to include in a zone is already directly included in one or more other zones. This is a common issue when managing transportation zones in SAP Transportation Management (TM).
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  A location (e.g., a warehouse, distribution center, etc.) can only be directly included in one zone at a time. If you attempt to add it to another zone, the system will prevent this action to maintain data integrity and avoid conflicts in transportation planning.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Current Zone Assignments:
  
  Review the current zones to which the location is assigned. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction in SAP TM where you manage zones and locations.
  
  
  
  Remove from Existing Zone:
  
  If you need to include the location in a new zone, you must first remove it from the existing zone(s) where it is currently assigned. This can typically be done in the zone management interface.
  
  
  
  Reassign the Location:
  
  After removing the location from the previous zone, you can then add it to the desired zone.
  
  
  
  Verify Changes:
  
  After making the changes, verify that the location is now correctly assigned to the intended zone and that it is no longer included in the previous zone.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP TM for managing zones and locations, such as /SCTM/ZONE for zone management.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for Transportation Management for detailed instructions on managing zones and locations.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to zone assignments in SAP TM.
  Consult with Colleagues: If you are unsure about the implications of changing zone assignments, consult with your team or a colleague who has experience with transportation management in SAP.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and manage your transportation zones effectively.
