In SAP S/4HANA Transportation Management, the "Automatic and Manual Planning" incompatibility area is used to define constraints for the vehicle routing and scheduling (VSR) optimizer and for manual planning. This functionality prevents the system from combining certain business objects within the same freight document.

The system supports defining an incompatibility between a vehicle resource and a location (A) to prevent a specific truck from stopping at a particular site. It also supports an incompatibility between two transportation request headers (B), such as two sales orders, to ensure their corresponding freight units are not planned on the same truck, for example, due to different customer requirements.

C. Freight unit - Freight booking: A freight booking is a result of planning a freight unit. An incompatibility is defined between objects being planned, not between the input (freight unit) and the output (freight booking).

D. Carrier - Transportation order: A carrier is assigned to a transportation order after planning is complete. Planning incompatibilities are checked during planning, for instance, between a freight unit and a potential carrier.

Transportation Management (TM) -> Incompatibilities -> Definition of Incompatibilities: This official documentation outlines the different incompatibility areas and the business object combinations (incompatibility types) available for each. It explicitly lists "Vehicle Resource and Location" and "Transportation Request Header and Transportation Request Header" as valid types for the "Automatic and Manual Planning" area.

Transportation Management (TM) -> Master Data -> Define Incompatibility: The configuration guide details the setup for incompatibilities. In the IMG activity Define Incompatibility Types

the system provides a predefined list of object combinations for the planning area

which includes the correct answers.
