• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AD740 - & does not contain any objects to be deleted ?

  The SAP error message AD740 typically indicates that there is an issue related to the deletion of objects in the system. The specific message "does not contain any objects to be deleted" suggests that the system is attempting to delete objects from a transport request or a package, but it cannot find any objects to delete.
  Cause:
  
  Empty Transport Request: The transport request you are trying to delete may not contain any objects. This can happen if the request was never populated with objects or if all objects were already removed.
  Incorrect Selection: You may be trying to delete a transport request or a package that does not have any associated objects.
  System State: The system might be in a state where it cannot process the deletion due to locks or other issues.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Transport Request: Verify that the transport request you are trying to delete actually contains objects. You can do this by checking the contents of the transport request in the Transport Organizer (transaction SE09 or SE10).
  Delete Empty Requests: If the transport request is indeed empty, you can simply delete it directly from the Transport Organizer.
  Check for Locks: Ensure that there are no locks on the transport request or the objects you are trying to delete. You can check for locks using transaction SM12.
  Use Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the correct transaction for the operation you are trying to perform. If you are trying to delete a package, ensure you are in the right context.
  Consult Logs: Check the system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the issue.
