• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 0K037 - Selection contains layouts which cannot be transported ?

  The SAP error message 0K037 ("Selection contains layouts which cannot be transported") typically occurs when you are trying to transport a selection layout that includes elements that are not transportable. This can happen in various SAP modules, particularly in reporting and analysis tools where layouts are defined for reports.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one or more of the following reasons:
  
  Non-Transportable Layouts: The selection layout you are trying to transport includes layouts that are either user-specific or not defined in a transportable way.
  Local Layouts: If the layout was created in a local context (e.g., by a specific user) and not saved in a transportable way, it cannot be included in a transport request.
  Missing Authorizations: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to transport certain layouts.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  Check Layouts: Review the selection layouts included in your transport request. Identify any layouts that are user-specific or not transportable.
  Create Transportable Layouts: If you find non-transportable layouts, consider creating new layouts that are transportable. You can do this by:
  
  Saving the layout as a global layout instead of a user-specific one.
  Using the "Save as" option and ensuring that the layout is saved in a way that allows it to be transported.
  
  
  Remove Non-Transportable Layouts: If you cannot convert the layouts to transportable ones, you may need to remove them from the transport request.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to transport layouts. If not, contact your SAP administrator to grant the required permissions.
