• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_CU_SW020 - Package &1 does not allow transportation ?

  The SAP error message ESH_CU_SW020 indicates that a specific package (denoted by &1) is not allowed for transportation. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's transport management system (TMS) when you attempt to transport objects that are part of a package that has been configured to be non-transportable.
  Cause:
  
  Package Configuration: The package in question has been set to "local" or "non-transportable." This is often done for development packages that are intended to remain in the development environment and not be moved to production or other systems.
  Transport Layer Settings: The transport layer associated with the package may also be configured to restrict transport.
  Object Type Restrictions: Certain object types within the package may have restrictions that prevent them from being transported.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Package Settings:
  
  Go to transaction SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE21 (Package Builder).
  Find the package in question and check its properties.
  If the package is set to "local," you may need to change it to a transportable package. This can be done by modifying the package attributes, but you will need appropriate authorizations to do so.
  
  
  
  Create a New Transportable Package:
  
  If changing the existing package is not feasible, consider creating a new package that is transportable and move the objects you need to transport into this new package.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Layer:
  
  Check the transport layer settings associated with the package. Ensure that it is configured to allow transport.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis team for specific guidelines on package transportability and best practices.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the package settings or to create new packages.
