• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CTWF054 - You can only edit requests of the same type ?

  The SAP error message CTWF054 ("You can only edit requests of the same type") typically occurs in the context of SAP Change and Transport System (CTS) when you are trying to edit or manage transport requests that are of different types. This error is designed to prevent inconsistencies that could arise from mixing different types of transport requests.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when you attempt to edit or process transport requests that are not of the same type. For example, you might be trying to edit a workbench request while also trying to edit a customizing request. SAP enforces this rule to maintain the integrity of the transport system.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should ensure that you are only working with transport requests of the same type. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Identify the Request Types: Check the types of the transport requests you are trying to edit. You can do this by looking at the request details in the Transport Organizer (transaction SE09 or SE10).
  
  
  Separate Requests: If you have mixed request types, separate them. Only select requests of the same type for editing or processing.
  
  
  Use the Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the appropriate transaction for the type of request you are working with. For example, use SE09 for workbench requests and SE10 for customizing requests.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to edit the transport requests. Lack of proper authorizations can sometimes lead to unexpected behavior.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the types of requests or how to manage them, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis team.
