• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AFX_WIZARDS011 - The package name specifies a local package ?

  The SAP error message AFX_WIZARDS011 indicates that the package name specified in your operation refers to a local package. In SAP, local packages are typically used for development purposes and are not intended for transport between systems. This error often arises when you are trying to create or transport objects that are not allowed in a local package.
  Cause:
  
  Local Package Usage: The package you are trying to use is a local package (usually prefixed with $TMP or similar), which means it is not transportable.
  Transport Request Issues: You may be attempting to include objects in a transport request that are not allowed because they are in a local package.
  Incorrect Package Assignment: The object you are trying to create or modify is assigned to a local package instead of a transportable package.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Change Package Assignment:
  
  Open the object in the relevant transaction (e.g., SE80 for repository objects).
  Check the package assignment of the object. If it is assigned to a local package, you need to change it to a transportable package.
  To do this, you can use the "Package" field to select a different package that is transportable.
  
  
  
  Create a Transportable Package:
  
  If you do not have a suitable transportable package, you can create a new package in transaction SE80 or SE21.
  Ensure that the package is defined as a transportable package and not a local one.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Request:
  
  Ensure that the transport request you are working with is correctly set up and that it is intended for the objects you are trying to include.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the package types or how to manage them, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis team for guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
