• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_FUB131 - Merge not possible, consolidation not allowed ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_FUB131 Merge not possible, consolidation not allowed typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there is an attempt to merge transportation requests or shipments that cannot be consolidated due to certain restrictions or conditions.
  Cause:
  
  Incompatible Transportation Requests: The transportation requests or shipments you are trying to merge may have incompatible characteristics, such as different shipping points, delivery dates, or transportation modes.
  Consolidation Settings: The system may have specific settings that prevent the consolidation of certain types of shipments or requests. This could be due to configuration settings in the Transportation Management module.
  Status of Shipments: The status of the shipments or requests may not allow for consolidation. For example, if one of the shipments is already in a status that does not permit changes, the system will prevent merging.
  Business Rules: There may be defined business rules in your organization that restrict the merging of certain shipments based on criteria like weight, volume, or destination.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Compatibility: Review the characteristics of the transportation requests or shipments you are trying to merge. Ensure they are compatible in terms of shipping points, delivery dates, and transportation modes.
  Review Configuration Settings: Check the configuration settings in SAP TM related to consolidation. This may involve looking at the settings for transportation planning and consolidation rules.
  Change Status: If the status of the shipments is preventing consolidation, you may need to change the status of the shipments or requests to allow for merging.
  Consult Business Rules: Review any business rules that may be in place regarding consolidation. If necessary, consult with your SAP TM administrator or business process owner to understand the rules and see if exceptions can be made.
  Use Alternative Methods: If merging is not possible, consider using alternative methods for transportation planning, such as creating a new transportation request that encompasses the necessary shipments.
