• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CUSDIR504 - Only the original language is transported ?

  The SAP error message CUSDIR504, which states "Only the original language is transported," typically occurs during the transport of objects in the SAP system. This message indicates that the transport request you are trying to process contains objects that are only available in the original language of the development system, and therefore, they cannot be transported in other languages.
  Cause:
  
  Language-Specific Objects: The objects you are trying to transport (like texts, programs, or configurations) are defined only in the original language of the system (usually the language in which the SAP system was installed).
  Missing Translations: If the objects do not have translations available in the target language, the system will not allow the transport of those objects in that language.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Language: Verify the language settings of the objects you are trying to transport. Ensure that they are available in the target language.
  Create Translations: If the objects need to be available in multiple languages, you may need to create translations for those objects in the target language before attempting to transport them.
  Transport in Original Language: If translations are not necessary, you can proceed with the transport in the original language. Ensure that the target system is set up to handle the original language.
  Adjust Transport Request: If the transport request contains unnecessary objects that are causing the error, consider adjusting the transport request to exclude those objects.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transport Management System (TMS): Familiarize yourself with the TMS in SAP, which manages the transport of objects between different systems (Development, Quality Assurance, Production).
  Language Settings: Review the language settings in both the source and target systems to ensure compatibility.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or solutions related to this error message.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation regarding transport requests and language handling for more detailed guidance.
  
  By addressing the language-specific issues and ensuring that the necessary translations are in place, you should be able to resolve the CUSDIR504 error and successfully transport your objects.
