• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_OPT_APP405 - Means of transport &1 cannot be used because of maximum distance of 0 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_OPT_APP405 indicates that a specific means of transport cannot be used due to a maximum distance constraint set to zero. This typically occurs in the context of transportation management within SAP, where the system is trying to determine the feasibility of using a particular transport mode for a given route or shipment.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issue: The maximum distance for the means of transport (e.g., truck, ship, etc.) has been set to zero in the configuration. This means that the transport mode is effectively disabled for any route, as it cannot cover any distance.
  Master Data Error: The means of transport may not have been properly configured in the system, leading to a maximum distance of zero.
  Transportation Lane Settings: The transportation lane associated with the means of transport may have restrictions that result in a maximum distance of zero.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for the means of transport in SAP. This can typically be found in the Transportation Management (TM) module.
  Ensure that the maximum distance is set to a valid value greater than zero. This can usually be done in the customizing settings under the relevant transport configuration.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Check the master data for the means of transport in question. Ensure that all relevant fields, including maximum distance, are correctly filled out.
  If necessary, update the master data to reflect the correct maximum distance.
  
  
  
  Examine Transportation Lanes:
  
  Review the transportation lanes that are defined in the system. Ensure that the lanes are correctly configured and that they do not impose a maximum distance of zero for the means of transport being used.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the scenario again to ensure that the error message no longer appears and that the means of transport can be used as intended.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as /SCMTMS/PLN for planning or /SCMTMS/MD for master data management to access the relevant settings.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for Transportation Management for detailed guidance on configuring means of transport and transportation lanes.
  Support: If the issue persists after checking the configuration and master data, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
  
  By addressing the configuration and master data issues, you should be able to resolve the error and enable the use of the specified means of transport.
