How To Fix E4202 - Enhancements will not be copied

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: E4 - Program maintenance functions within development system

• Message number: 202

• Message text: Enhancements will not be copied

What causes this issue?

An object (program, function module, method, or class) that contains
enhancement implementations is being copied. These enhancement
implementations are not contained in the target object. Since
enhancements are always bound to the corresponding compilation unit, or
bound when the INCLUDE BOUND addition is used, they are not included in
the copy action.
The "ENHANCEMENT-POINT" and "ENHANCEMENT-SECTION /
END-ENHANCEMENT-SECTION" statements contained in the source object are
commented out in the target object. The coding between
"ENHANCEMENT-SECTION" and "END-ENHANCEMENT-SECTION" is copied because it
is always run through when there is no implementation.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

If these enhancement implementations are required for the program flow,
the following solution options are available:
If the coding is to be run through, whatever the case, you can insert
the coding of the enhancement implementation directly at the same
position within the target program or replace the coding that is between
the statements "ENHANCEMENT-SECTION" and "END-ENHANCED-SECTION" by it.
All enhancements are copied. So that the system can execute the correct
coding in connection with the current switch setting, it determines the
respective switch setting (for example, using the function module
SFW_GET_SW_STATUS) and branches to the executing coding through
additional
Here it should be noted that appends that are possibly switched off
could cause syntax errors. This solution cannot be used in such cases.
You create your own enhancement options and implementations. If there
are different switches in the original, the implementations must be
created in different packages. A separate new switch is assigned to each
package, and this switch is, in turn, is bound to the business function
of the original switch.

  The SAP error message E4202, which states "Enhancements will not be copied," typically occurs during the transport of changes in the SAP system. This message indicates that there are issues related to enhancements (like user exits, BAdIs, etc.) that are not being transported as expected.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Enhancements: The enhancements you are trying to transport may not exist in the target system.
  Transport Directory Issues: There may be issues with the transport directory or the transport request itself.
  Inconsistent Transport Request: The transport request may not be properly configured or may be inconsistent.
  Authorization Issues: The user performing the transport may not have the necessary authorizations to copy enhancements.
  Enhancement Implementation: The enhancement implementation might not be active in the source system, or it may not be included in the transport request.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Enhancement Implementation: Ensure that the enhancements you want to transport are properly implemented and active in the source system.
  Review Transport Request: Verify that the transport request includes all necessary objects, including enhancements. You can do this by checking the contents of the transport request in transaction SE09 or SE10.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user performing the transport has the necessary authorizations to transport enhancements.
  Manual Transport: If the enhancements are not being copied automatically, consider manually transporting them by creating a new transport request specifically for the enhancements.
  Check Transport Directory: Ensure that the transport directory is correctly set up and that there are no issues with the transport files.
  Consult SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to your version of SAP or the enhancements you are working with.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes SE09 (Transport Organizer) and SE10 (Transport Organizer for Workbench Requests) to manage transport requests.
  SAP Notes: Search for SAP Notes related to E4202 for specific guidance or patches that may resolve the issue.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on transport management and enhancement implementation for best practices and troubleshooting steps.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis team or reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
