  The SAP error message ATO_CUSTOMER141, which states "Use workbench requests only," typically occurs when there is an attempt to transport or modify objects in a way that is not compliant with the SAP transport management system's guidelines. This error is often related to the use of customizing requests instead of workbench requests for certain types of changes.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Transport Request Type: The error usually arises when a user tries to transport development objects (like ABAP programs, function modules, etc.) using a customizing transport request instead of a workbench request.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to enforce the use of workbench requests for certain types of changes, especially in development environments.
  Development Guidelines: The organization may have specific guidelines that dictate how changes should be transported, and using the wrong type of request can trigger this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Use Workbench Requests: Ensure that you are using a workbench request for transporting development objects. You can create a new workbench request in the SAP system by following these steps:
  
  Go to transaction SE09 or SE10.
  Create a new workbench request.
  Add the objects you want to transport to this request.
  
  
  
  Check Request Type: If you are unsure about the type of request you are using, you can check the request type in the transport organizer (SE09/SE10) and ensure it is a workbench request.
  
  
  Consult with Basis Team: If you continue to face issues, it may be helpful to consult with your SAP Basis team or system administrator. They can provide insights into the transport configuration and any specific guidelines your organization follows.
  
  
  Review Documentation: Check any internal documentation or guidelines regarding transport requests in your organization to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transport Management System (TMS): Understanding how the TMS works in SAP can help you better manage transport requests. The TMS is responsible for managing the transport of objects between different SAP systems (e.g., Development, Quality Assurance, Production).
  
  
  Transport Request Types: Familiarize yourself with the different types of transport requests in SAP:
  
  Workbench Requests: Used for transporting development objects.
  Customizing Requests: Used for transporting configuration settings and customizing data.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific updates or patches related to this error message. Sometimes, SAP releases notes that provide additional context or solutions for specific issues.
