  SAP Error Message WG236
  Message Text:
  
  All suppliers are to use optimized purchase-order-based load building.
  
  Cause
  This message typically appears in the context of Transportation Planning and Shipment Scheduling within SAP's Logistics Execution (LE) or Supply Chain Management (SCM) modules, especially when working with Transportation Cockpit or Load Building processes.
  
  The system is configured or expects that all suppliers involved in the transportation planning process should use the optimized purchase-order-based load building method.
  This means that the load building process should be based on purchase orders (POs) rather than other methods such as delivery-based or manual load building.
  The error occurs if the system detects that some suppliers are not following this optimized method, or if the configuration enforces this method but the data or process does not comply.
  
  
  Explanation
  
  Optimized purchase-order-based load building is a method where the system automatically consolidates shipments based on purchase orders to optimize transportation loads.
  This approach improves efficiency by grouping shipments logically and reducing transportation costs.
  SAP enforces this method to ensure consistency and optimization in shipment planning.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Verify the settings in the Transportation Planning profile or Load Building profile.
  Ensure that the system is set to use purchase-order-based load building for all suppliers.
  This can be checked in transaction codes related to transportation planning (e.g., /SCMTMS/LOAD, /SCMTMS/PLANNING).
  
  
  
  Supplier Master Data:
  
  Review supplier master data to ensure that suppliers are flagged or configured to use purchase-order-based load building.
  If some suppliers are set to use other methods, update their settings accordingly.
  
  
  
  Process Compliance:
  
  Ensure that the operational process follows the optimized load building method.
  Train users to create shipments and loads based on purchase orders rather than deliveries or manual grouping.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Check if the purchase orders are correctly maintained and available for load building.
  Ensure that purchase orders are released and relevant for transportation planning.
  
  
  
  Customizing Settings:
  
  In some cases, the message might be triggered by a custom validation or enhancement.
  Review any user exits or BAdIs related to load building to ensure they align with the optimized PO-based approach.
