• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_OPT_EXP586 - No valid route since only default routes are considered ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_OPT_EXP586 indicates that the system is unable to find a valid route for transportation planning because it is only considering default routes. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when the system is trying to determine a route for a transportation requirement but cannot find a suitable one based on the defined criteria.
  Cause:
  
  Default Route Configuration: The system is configured to use only default routes, and there may not be any default routes defined for the specific transportation requirement.
  Missing or Incorrect Route Determination: The route determination process may not be set up correctly, leading to the system not finding any valid routes.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies or missing data in the master data (e.g., locations, transportation lanes) that prevent the system from identifying valid routes.
  Route Selection Criteria: The criteria used for route selection may be too restrictive, leading to no routes being available.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Route Configuration:
  
  Ensure that default routes are properly defined in the system. You can do this by navigating to the route determination settings in SAP TM.
  Verify that the default routes are active and applicable to the transportation requirements you are trying to plan.
  
  
  
  Review Route Determination Settings:
  
  Check the route determination settings to ensure that they are configured to consider all relevant routes, not just default ones.
  If necessary, adjust the settings to include additional routes or criteria.
  
  
  
  Validate Master Data:
  
  Ensure that all relevant master data (e.g., locations, transportation lanes, and shipping points) is correctly maintained and consistent.
  Check for any missing or incorrect entries that could affect route determination.
  
  
  
  Adjust Route Selection Criteria:
  
  Review the criteria used for route selection and consider broadening them if they are too restrictive.
  Ensure that the transportation requirements meet the criteria for available routes.
  
  
  
  Testing and Simulation:
  
  After making changes, perform a test run or simulation to see if the issue is resolved and valid routes can be determined.
