  Check Existing TMS: Before creating a new TMS, check the existing TMS configurations to see if the name you want to use is already in use. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration area in SAP EWM.
  Clear Cache: If you believe the name should not be in use, try clearing the cache or refreshing the session. Sometimes, the system may not reflect the most current state due to caching issues.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help files related to TMS to ensure you are following the correct procedures for creating a new TMS.
