• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_SC_BOOK006 - Planning not possible; no freight unit stages entered ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/PLN_SC_BOOK006 indicates that planning is not possible because no freight unit stages have been entered. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when trying to create or process a freight order or shipment without having defined the necessary stages for the freight unit.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Freight Unit Stages: The primary cause of this error is that the freight unit does not have any stages defined. Stages are essential for the planning process as they represent the different legs of transportation (e.g., pickup, delivery).
  Incomplete Data Entry: The freight unit may not have been fully populated with the required data, leading to the absence of stages.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the SAP TM system that prevent the creation of stages for the freight unit.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Freight Unit Stages:
  
  Navigate to the freight unit in question and check if any stages have been defined.
  If no stages are present, you will need to create them. This can typically be done in the freight unit details screen by adding the necessary stages (e.g., pickup and delivery locations).
  
  
  
  Create or Modify Freight Unit:
  
  If you are creating a new freight unit, ensure that you enter all required information, including the stages.
  If you are modifying an existing freight unit, ensure that you add the necessary stages before attempting to plan.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If you suspect a configuration issue, review the settings in the SAP TM configuration to ensure that the system is set up to allow for the creation of freight unit stages.
  Consult with your SAP TM administrator or functional consultant to verify that all necessary configurations are in place.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on freight unit stages and planning processes in SAP TM.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
