  The SAP error message ESH_CU_SW026, which states "Package must be indicated," typically occurs in the context of the SAP Enterprise Search or when working with the SAP Business Suite. This error indicates that a package (a logical grouping of objects in SAP) has not been specified when it is required.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Package Specification: The most common cause of this error is that the user has not specified a package when trying to create or modify an object (like a report, function module, or class) in the SAP system.
  Development Environment: This error can also occur if you are working in a development environment and have not assigned the object to a package, which is mandatory for transport purposes.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to create or modify objects in a package.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Specify a Package: When creating or modifying an object, ensure that you specify a package. You can do this by:
  
  Going to the object creation or modification screen.
  In the package field, either select an existing package or create a new one if necessary.
  
  
  
  Use Local Object: If you do not want to assign the object to a package, you can choose to create it as a local object (using the $_LOCAL package). However, keep in mind that local objects are not transportable.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify objects in the specified package. If you do not have the required permissions, contact your SAP administrator.
  
  
  Transport Request: If you are working in a development environment, ensure that you are working within a transport request. If you are not, create a transport request and assign your object to it.
