  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VA085 - Delivery date rule is reset, Transportation Mgmt is no longer active. ?

    The SAP error message "VA085 Delivery date rule is reset, Transportation Mgmt is no longer active" typically occurs in the context of Sales and Distribution (SD) when the system is unable to determine a valid delivery date for a sales order due to the deactivation of Transportation Management (TM) functionalities.

    Cause:

    1. Transportation Management Deactivation: The error indicates that the Transportation Management functionality, which is responsible for calculating delivery dates based on transportation planning, is no longer active. This could happen due to configuration changes or if the TM module is not properly integrated with the SD module.
    2. Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration settings related to delivery date determination, transportation planning, or the integration between SD and TM.
    3. Master Data Issues: In some cases, the master data (like material master, customer master, or shipping point) may not be set up correctly, leading to the inability to determine delivery dates.

    Solution:

    1. Check TM Activation: Ensure that the Transportation Management module is active and properly configured in your SAP system. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis or TM consultant to verify this.
    2. Review Configuration Settings: Check the configuration settings for delivery date determination in the SD module. Ensure that the settings align with the requirements of your business processes.
    3. Verify Master Data: Review the relevant master data for the sales order, including:
      • Material master data (check for shipping and transportation data)
      • Customer master data (check for shipping conditions)
      • Shipping point settings
    4. Check for Updates: If there have been recent updates or changes to the system, ensure that they have not affected the integration between SD and TM.
    5. Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the error message for any specific guidance or patches that may be applicable.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes in the SAP Support Portal that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to transportation management (e.g., /SCMTMS/*) and sales order processing (e.g., VA01, VA02).
    • Integration Points: Understand the integration points between SD and TM, as well as any dependencies that may affect delivery date determination.

    If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or a consultant who specializes in SAP SD and TM integration for further assistance.
