• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ECATT_CHECK016 - The object <&1> is not in a transportable layer ?

  The SAP error message ECATT_CHECK016 indicates that the object you are trying to transport is not in a transportable layer. This typically occurs when you are working with objects in the SAP system that are not part of a transportable layer, meaning they cannot be included in a transport request for movement between different SAP systems (e.g., from development to quality assurance or production).
  Cause:
  
  Non-Transportable Layer: The object is located in a non-transportable layer, such as the SAP standard layer or a layer that is not configured for transport.
  Custom Development: If the object is a custom development, it may not have been created in a transportable package or layer.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured in such a way that certain objects are restricted from being transported.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Layer: Verify the layer of the object in question. You can do this by using transaction SE03 (Transport Organizer Tools) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to check the transport layer of the object.
  Create a Transportable Package: If the object is in a non-transportable layer, consider moving it to a transportable package. You can create a new package in transaction SE80 and assign the object to this package.
  Adjust Transport Settings: If you have the necessary authorizations, you may need to adjust the transport settings in your system to allow for the transport of certain objects.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis team to understand the implications of moving objects between layers and the best practices for transport management.
  Recreate Object: If necessary, you may need to recreate the object in a transportable layer/package.
  
  Related Information:
