• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CTS_ORGANIZER_MSG140 - Object list cannot be updated since task &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message CTS_ORGANIZER_MSG140 indicates that the system is unable to update the object list because the specified transport task (denoted by &1) does not exist. This error typically occurs in the context of the Change and Transport System (CTS) when trying to manage transport requests or tasks.
  Cause:
  
  
  Non-existent Task: The transport task specified in the error message does not exist in the system. This could be due to:
  
  The task was deleted or not created properly.
  The task ID was mistyped or incorrectly referenced.
  The task is in a different transport request that is not accessible.
  
  
  
  Transport Request Issues: The transport request associated with the task may have been deleted or is in a state that prevents updates.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or modify the specified transport task.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Task Existence:
  
  Check if the transport task exists in the system. You can do this by using transaction code SE01 (Transport Organizer) or SE09 (Workbench Organizer) to search for the task.
  Ensure that the task ID is correctly referenced in your operation.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Request:
  
  If the task is part of a transport request, ensure that the request is still valid and has not been deleted or released.
  
  
  
  Recreate Task:
  
  If the task does not exist, you may need to recreate it. This can be done by creating a new transport task under the appropriate transport request.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access and modify the transport tasks. You may need to consult with your SAP security team if you suspect authorization issues.
  
  
  
  System Logs:
