• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_OPT_EXP559 - No valid route due to max. number of transshipment locations ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_OPT_EXP559 indicates that there is no valid route available for transportation planning due to the maximum number of transshipment locations being exceeded. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when the system is trying to determine a route for a shipment but finds that the number of transshipment points exceeds the configured limit.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Transshipment Limit: The primary cause of this error is that the number of transshipment locations in the route exceeds the maximum limit set in the system configuration.
  Configuration Settings: The maximum number of transshipment locations is defined in the system settings, and if the planned route involves more transshipment points than allowed, this error will be triggered.
  Route Definition: The routes defined in the system may not be optimized or may not take into account the constraints of transshipment locations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for transshipment limits in the SAP TM system. You can find these settings in the customizing transaction (SPRO) under the relevant transportation management settings.
  
  Navigate to: SPRO -> Logistics Execution -> Transportation Management -> Basic Settings -> Define Maximum Number of Transshipment Locations.
  Adjust the maximum number of transshipment locations if necessary, based on your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Optimize Routes: Analyze the routes being used for transportation planning. If possible, try to reduce the number of transshipment locations in the planned route. This may involve:
  
  Rerouting shipments to minimize transshipment points.
  Consolidating shipments to reduce the number of stops.
  
  
  
  Review Transportation Network: Ensure that the transportation network is designed effectively. This includes checking the locations, routes, and transshipment points to ensure they align with the operational capabilities.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on managing transshipment locations and optimizing routes.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the transportation planning process to ensure that the error is resolved and that valid routes can be generated without exceeding the transshipment limits.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional insights into configuration best practices.
  User Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or user groups to see if others have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have implemented.
  Training: Consider training for users involved in transportation planning to ensure they understand how to configure and optimize routes effectively.
  
  By addressing the configuration and optimizing the routes, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure smooth transportation planning in SAP TM.
