How To Fix AQ387 - Choose only temporary packets

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AQ - Message texts for SAP Query

• Message number: 387

• Message text: Choose only temporary packets

What causes this issue?

You want to change the packet of a query that belongs to a temporary
packet. Changing to a non-temporary packet only makes sense if the
relevant functional area and user group are also assigned to a
non-temporary packet. However, this is not the case.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Do not assign the object to a non-temporary packet. Otherwise, you
could cause inconsistency in the dataset of the query in systems
further down the transport route. For example, it would be possible to
transport a query into another system without transporting its
functional area or user group.
