• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_OPT_APP331 - No transportation lanes passed to the optimizer ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_OPT_APP331 indicates that the transportation optimizer did not receive any valid transportation lanes to process. This can occur in the SAP Transportation Management (TM) module when the optimizer is unable to find any transportation lanes that meet the criteria specified in the optimization run.
  Causes:
  
  No Transportation Lanes Defined: There may be no transportation lanes defined for the relevant shipping points, locations, or routes.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria set for the optimization run may be too restrictive, leading to no valid lanes being selected.
  Inactive or Invalid Lanes: The transportation lanes that exist may be inactive or not valid for the current planning scenario.
  Master Data Issues: Missing or incorrect master data (e.g., locations, products, or transportation lanes) can lead to the optimizer not finding any lanes.
  Planning Area Configuration: The planning area may not be correctly configured to include the necessary transportation lanes.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Transportation Lanes: Verify that transportation lanes are defined and active for the relevant shipping points and locations. You can do this in the SAP TM configuration under transportation lanes.
  Review Selection Criteria: Examine the selection criteria used in the optimization run. Ensure that they are not overly restrictive and that they align with the available transportation lanes.
  Validate Master Data: Ensure that all relevant master data is complete and accurate. This includes checking the configuration of locations, products, and transportation lanes.
  Run a Test Optimization: Try running a test optimization with broader criteria to see if any transportation lanes are picked up. This can help identify if the issue is with the selection criteria.
  Check Planning Area Settings: Review the planning area settings to ensure that it is configured to include the necessary transportation lanes and that the relevant data is being considered in the optimization process.
