• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/ERPINTEGRATION098 - TU already assigned, adding carrier not allowed; system ignores carrier ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/ERPINTEGRATION098 TU already assigned, adding carrier not allowed; system ignores carrier typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when there is an attempt to assign a carrier to a Transportation Unit (TU) that has already been assigned to a different carrier or is in a state that does not allow for carrier reassignment.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Assignment: The Transportation Unit (TU) is already assigned to a carrier, and the system does not allow changing the carrier once it has been assigned.

  Configuration Settings: There may be specific configuration settings in the system that restrict the reassignment of carriers for TUs.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check TU Status: Verify the status of the Transportation Unit. If it is already assigned to a carrier, you may need to unassign it or change its status before attempting to assign a new carrier.
  Review Carrier Assignment: If the TU is in a state that allows for carrier changes, ensure that you are following the correct process to reassign the carrier.
  Use Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the appropriate transaction or function to change the carrier. Sometimes, specific transactions are designed for carrier assignment and may have different rules.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help files related to carrier assignment in EWM for any specific guidelines or restrictions.
  Check Configuration: If you have access, check the configuration settings in the EWM system to see if there are any restrictions on carrier assignments that need to be adjusted.
