• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_OPT_EXP711 - Port-to-port FO related to departure must have two relevant stops ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_OPT_EXP711 indicates that there is an issue with the planning of a freight order (FO) in the SAP Transportation Management (TM) system. Specifically, the error states that a port-to-port freight order must have two relevant stops related to the departure.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises when the system expects a freight order to have two stops defined for a port-to-port transportation scenario, but only one stop is provided. In a port-to-port scenario, the system requires both a departure and an arrival stop to properly plan the transportation route.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should ensure that the freight order has the necessary stops defined. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check Freight Order Configuration:
  
  Open the freight order in question and navigate to the stops section.
  Ensure that there are two relevant stops defined: one for the departure port and one for the arrival port.
  
  
  
  Add Missing Stops:
  
  If one of the stops is missing, add the relevant stop to the freight order. Make sure to specify the correct details for both the departure and arrival locations.
  
  
  
  Validate Stop Types:
  
  Ensure that the stops are correctly classified as relevant for the port-to-port transportation. The system may have specific requirements for how stops are categorized.
  
  
  
  Review Transportation Lane:
  
  Check the transportation lane configuration to ensure that it supports port-to-port transportation and that the relevant stops are correctly defined in the lane.
  
  
  
  Re-run Planning:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, re-run the planning process to see if the error persists.
