• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCTM/TMMD_UI201 - Transportation zone &2 still exists for location &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCTM/TMMD_UI201 indicates that there is a transportation zone associated with a location that is preventing certain operations from being completed. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when trying to delete or modify a location that is still linked to a transportation zone.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  The location you are trying to modify or delete is still assigned to a transportation zone.
  There may be existing transportation planning objects (like freight orders, shipments, etc.) that reference this location and its associated transportation zone.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Transportation Zone Assignment:
  
  Navigate to the transportation zone configuration in SAP TM.
  Verify if the location is still assigned to the transportation zone in question.
  
  
  
  Remove the Location from the Transportation Zone:
  
  If the location is still assigned, you will need to remove it from the transportation zone.
  Go to the relevant configuration transaction (e.g., /SCMTMS/TZ for transportation zones) and edit the transportation zone to remove the location.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no active transportation planning objects that are using the location. This includes checking for:
  
  Freight orders
  Shipments
  Transportation requests
  
  
  If there are active objects, you may need to complete or delete them before you can remove the location from the transportation zone.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt the Operation:
  
  After ensuring that the location is no longer associated with the transportation zone and that there are no dependencies, try to perform the operation again (e.g., deleting or modifying the location).
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP TM, such as /SCMTMS/TZ for managing transportation zones.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for Transportation Management for detailed guidance on managing transportation zones and locations.
  Authorization: Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to transportation zones and locations in the system.
