  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_OPT_EXP601 - You have not entered a requested end date; lateness not penalized ?

    The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_OPT_EXP601 indicates that a requested end date has not been entered for a planning operation in the SAP Transportation Management System (TMS). This message typically arises during the planning or optimization process when the system expects a specific end date to evaluate the lateness of a transportation operation.

    Cause:

    1. Missing End Date: The primary cause of this error is that the end date for a transportation operation has not been specified. This can happen if the planning parameters or the transportation request do not include an end date.
    2. Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the TMS that require an end date for certain operations, and if these settings are not properly configured, it can lead to this error.
    3. Data Entry Errors: Users may inadvertently skip entering the end date when creating or modifying transportation requests or planning operations.

    Solution:

    1. Enter the End Date: The most straightforward solution is to ensure that a requested end date is entered for the relevant transportation operation. This can typically be done in the planning or transportation request screen.
    2. Review Planning Parameters: Check the planning parameters and settings in the TMS configuration to ensure that they are set up correctly to require or handle end dates appropriately.
    3. Check for User Training: Ensure that users involved in the planning process are trained to enter all necessary data, including end dates, to avoid this error in the future.
    4. Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources related to transportation planning to understand the requirements for end dates and how they impact the planning process.
    5. Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the planning process to identify any underlying issues that may be causing the end date to be omitted.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling end dates in TMS.
    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP TMS, such as /SCMTMS/PLN for planning, to navigate and resolve issues effectively.
    • Community Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or support channels where other users may have encountered similar issues and can provide insights or solutions.

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.
