• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_OPT_EXP650 - Stage constraint for transportation mode lost due to rough planning ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_OPT_EXP650 indicates that there is a stage constraint for a transportation mode that has been lost due to rough planning. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when the planning process encounters issues that prevent it from adhering to the defined constraints for a specific transportation mode.
  Cause:
  
  
  Rough Planning Issues: The error usually arises when the rough planning process does not respect the constraints set for the transportation mode. This can happen if:
  
  The transportation mode is not available for the planned route.
  The planning parameters (like capacity, time windows, etc.) are not met.
  There are conflicting settings in the transportation lane or route.
  The planning process is trying to assign a transportation mode that is not suitable for the current shipment.
  
  
  
  Configuration Errors: Incorrect configuration of transportation modes, lanes, or routes can lead to this error. This includes:
  
  Missing or incorrect settings in the transportation mode configuration.
  Inconsistent data in the master data (e.g., vehicle types, carrier settings).
  
  
  
  Data Issues: Incomplete or incorrect master data related to transportation modes, routes, or shipments can also trigger this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Planning Parameters: Check the planning parameters and constraints defined for the transportation mode. Ensure that they are correctly set up and that the rough planning process can adhere to them.
  
  
  Check Transportation Mode Configuration: 
  
  Go to the configuration settings for transportation modes in SAP TM.
  Verify that the transportation mode is correctly defined and that all necessary attributes (like capacity, availability, etc.) are properly configured.
  
  
  
  Examine Transportation Lanes and Routes: 
  
  Review the transportation lanes and routes to ensure that they are correctly set up and that the transportation mode is valid for the planned route.
  Make sure that the transportation lane allows for the selected transportation mode.
  
  
  
  Validate Master Data: 
  
  Check the master data related to the shipment, including the vehicle types, carriers, and any other relevant data.
  Ensure that all necessary data is complete and accurate.
  
  
  
  Adjust Rough Planning Settings: If the rough planning settings are too strict or not aligned with the current transportation requirements, consider adjusting them to allow for more flexibility.
  
  
  Consult SAP Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or relevant documentation for additional insights on the error message and its implications.
  
  
  Related Information:
