• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_FUB118 - Cannot merge &1 &2 with &3; capacity exceeded ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_FUB118 indicates that there is an issue with merging transportation requests or shipments due to capacity constraints. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when trying to combine multiple transportation requests or shipments into a single transportation unit, but the total capacity exceeds the limits defined for that unit.
  Cause:
  
  Capacity Exceeded: The primary cause of this error is that the total weight, volume, or other capacity-related metrics of the transportation requests or shipments being merged exceeds the defined capacity of the transportation unit (e.g., truck, container).
  Configuration Issues: There may be incorrect or insufficient configuration settings for the transportation unit's capacity in the system.
  Data Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies in the data related to the transportation requests, such as incorrect weight or volume entries.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Capacity Settings: Review the capacity settings for the transportation unit in the SAP TM configuration. Ensure that the defined capacity (weight, volume, etc.) is appropriate for the types of shipments you are trying to merge.
  Adjust Transportation Requests: If possible, adjust the individual transportation requests or shipments to reduce their total weight or volume so that they can be merged without exceeding the capacity.
  Review Shipment Data: Verify the data for the shipments or transportation requests involved. Ensure that the weight and volume are accurately entered and reflect the actual load.
  Split Shipments: If merging is not feasible due to capacity constraints, consider splitting the shipments into separate transportation units that can accommodate their respective capacities.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on managing transportation requests and understanding capacity constraints.
