  Check the Status: Verify the current status of the TU in the system. If it is indeed 'Sent to TMS', you will need to determine if it can be reversed or if further actions are required.
  Revoke or Cancel the TU: If the TU needs to be deleted, you may need to revoke or cancel the transportation request in the TMS, if possible. This may involve working with the TMS to change the status of the TU.
