• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_OPT_EXP712 - Departure and related freight order have different shipping types ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_OPT_EXP712 indicates that there is a mismatch between the shipping types of the departure and the related freight order in the Transportation Management (TM) module. This error typically arises when the system detects that the shipping type assigned to the departure (e.g., a shipment or a transportation request) does not match the shipping type of the associated freight order.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch in Shipping Types: The most common cause is that the shipping type defined in the freight order does not correspond to the shipping type of the departure. This can happen if the freight order was created with a specific shipping type, and the departure was created or modified with a different shipping type.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that enforce specific rules regarding shipping types, leading to this error when those rules are violated.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual data entry errors during the creation or modification of either the freight order or the departure can lead to this mismatch.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Shipping Types: Review the shipping types assigned to both the departure and the freight order. Ensure that they match. You can do this by navigating to the relevant documents in the SAP TM module.
  Modify the Freight Order or Departure: If there is a mismatch, you may need to either change the shipping type of the freight order or the departure to ensure they are consistent. This can typically be done in the respective document's detail view.
  Review Configuration: If this issue occurs frequently, it may be worth reviewing the configuration settings in SAP TM related to shipping types. Ensure that the rules and settings align with your business processes.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling shipping types and related configurations.
  Contact Support: If the issue persists and you cannot resolve it, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP TM Documentation: Review the official SAP documentation for Transportation Management to understand how shipping types are defined and managed.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP TM that can help you view and edit freight orders and departures (e.g., /SCMTMS/FR_ORDER for freight orders).
  User Exits and BAdIs: If your organization has custom logic implemented, check for any user exits or BAdIs that might affect the handling of shipping types.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
