The SAP error message
/SCMTMS/PLN_OPT_EXP543
indicates that a stop in the Transportation Management System (TMS) has been marked as "Fixed" due to propagation issues. This typically occurs when there are constraints or conditions that prevent the system from optimizing the transportation plan as intended.Cause:
- Fixed Stops: The stop has been manually set to a fixed status, which means it cannot be changed or optimized by the system.
- Propagation Rules: The propagation rules in the TMS may dictate that certain stops cannot be altered if they are linked to other stops or if they are part of a larger transportation plan that has dependencies.
- Constraints: There may be constraints such as time windows, capacity limits, or other logistical factors that prevent the system from making changes to the stop.
- Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration of the transportation planning settings or rules may lead to this error.
Solution:
- Review Stop Status: Check the status of the stop in question. If it is set to "Fixed," determine if it can be changed to allow for optimization.
- Adjust Propagation Settings: Review the propagation settings in the TMS configuration. Ensure that the rules allow for the necessary flexibility in planning.
- Check Dependencies: Investigate if the stop is linked to other stops or processes that may be causing it to be fixed. If so, consider adjusting those links.
- Re-evaluate Constraints: Look into any constraints that may be affecting the stop. If possible, adjust these constraints to allow for optimization.
- Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling fixed stops and propagation issues.
- Engage with SAP Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, especially if it seems to be a configuration or system-related issue.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
