  The SAP error message "A080 Request has initial status: &1" typically indicates that a transport request has not yet been released or is in an initial status. This error can occur in various scenarios, particularly when working with transport requests in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Transport Request Not Released: The most common cause of this error is that the transport request has not been released. A transport request must be released before it can be moved to another system (e.g., from development to quality assurance).
  Incorrect Status: The transport request may be in a status that does not allow it to be processed, such as "Modifiable" or "Created."
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to release or process the transport request.
  System Configuration: There may be issues with the transport directory or configuration settings in the Transport Management System (TMS).
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Release the Transport Request:
  
  Go to the Transport Organizer (transaction code SE09 or SE10).
  Find the transport request that is causing the error.

  Ensure that all objects within the request are correctly included and that there are no errors.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Request Status:

  If it is still in "Modifiable" or "Created" status, you need to release it.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to release and transport requests. You may need to contact your SAP Basis administrator if you lack the required permissions.
