SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VL -

• Message number: 574

• Message text: Are itinerary and route compatible?

What causes this issue?

You should keep the following in mind when you maintain itineraries:
An itinerary is part of the geography of a route, meaning that it is
important to maintain such itineraries for various route schedules
along the <ZH>same</> route in the <ZH>same</> way. Otherwise, logical
inconsistencies could result, for instance, the times for the same
points of the route could be different in each route schedule.
The route's transit time should be a little longer than the specific
transit time to the <ZH>last</> ship-to party (or ship-to
party/unloading point) in the itinerary. Otherwise, the scheduling
process during delivery creation from preceding documents can result in
dates that are too far in the future.

System Response

Maintenance is possible after confirmation.
