  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_OPT_APP516 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a passive means of transport in the Transportation Management System (TMS). Specifically, the error states that the specified means of transport (identified by &1) must not be a multiresource.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises when:
  
  A means of transport is incorrectly configured as a multiresource, which is not allowed for passive means of transport.
  The system is trying to assign a multiresource (like a vehicle that can carry multiple types of goods) to a scenario where only a single resource is expected.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the means of transport in the SAP TMS.
  Verify if the means of transport in question is set up as a multiresource. If it is, you will need to change its configuration to a single resource.
  
  
  
  Modify the Transport Means:
  
  If the means of transport should indeed be a passive means of transport, ensure that it is not marked as a multiresource.
  You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration area in SAP and adjusting the settings for the means of transport.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Planning:
  
  Check the transport planning settings to ensure that the correct means of transport is being used for the planning scenario.
  Make sure that the transport means assigned to the planning scenario is appropriate for the type of transport being executed.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on configuring means of transport and understanding the implications of multiresources.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the transport planning process again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
