• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_OPT_EXP593 - No valid route since resulting FO would exceed maximum distance/duration ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_OPT_EXP593 indicates that there is no valid route available for a freight order (FO) because the resulting route would exceed the maximum distance or duration constraints set in the system. This error typically arises in the context of transportation planning within the SAP Transportation Management (TM) module.
  Cause:
  
  Distance/Duration Constraints: The system has defined maximum limits for distance and/or duration for routes. If the calculated route exceeds these limits, the error is triggered.
  Route Configuration: The routes defined in the system may not be suitable for the specific shipment, leading to the inability to find a valid route.
  Master Data Issues: Inaccurate or incomplete master data (e.g., location data, transportation lanes) can lead to incorrect route calculations.
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters set in the system may be too restrictive, preventing the system from finding a feasible route.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review and Adjust Maximum Distance/Duration Settings:
  
  Check the configuration settings for maximum distance and duration in the transportation management settings. Adjust these parameters if necessary to allow for longer routes.
  
  
  
  Check Route Configuration:
  
  Review the transportation lanes and routes defined in the system. Ensure that they are correctly set up and that there are valid routes available for the origin and destination of the freight order.
  
  
  
  Validate Master Data:
  
  Ensure that all relevant master data (e.g., locations, transportation lanes, carriers) is accurate and complete. Update any missing or incorrect data.
  
  
  
  Analyze Planning Parameters:
  
  Review the planning parameters used in the transportation planning process. If they are too restrictive, consider adjusting them to allow for more flexibility in route selection.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Routes:
  
  If possible, consider using alternative routes or carriers that may not have the same distance/duration constraints.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on configuring transportation management settings and resolving related errors.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SCMTMS/PLN for planning or /SCMTMS/ROUTE for route management to access relevant settings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Support: If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
