• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AQV853 - Import option & is not allowed for the transport type selected ?

  The SAP error message AQV853 indicates that there is an issue with the transport type selected for a transport request. Specifically, it states that the import option you are trying to use is not allowed for the selected transport type. This typically occurs when you are trying to import a transport request that is not compatible with the transport type settings.
  Cause:
  
  Transport Type Mismatch: The transport request may be of a type that does not support the import option you are trying to use (e.g., a customizing request vs. a workbench request).
  Transport Layer Configuration: The transport layer may not be configured to allow certain import options for the selected transport type.
  System Configuration: The system landscape may have restrictions on certain types of transports, especially in a multi-system environment.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Transport Type: Verify the transport type of the request you are trying to import. Ensure that it matches the import options you are trying to use.
  Review Import Options: Make sure you are using the correct import options for the transport type. For example, if you are trying to import a customizing request, ensure that you are not trying to use options that are only available for workbench requests.
  Transport Layer Settings: Check the transport layer settings in the Transport Management System (TMS) to ensure that the import options are correctly configured for the transport type.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to transport management for specific guidelines on transport types and their allowed import options.
  Contact Basis Team: If you are unsure about the configuration or if the issue persists, it may be helpful to contact your SAP Basis team for assistance. They can provide insights into the transport landscape and help resolve the issue.
