  The SAP error message ESH_IEF_MSG037 with the description "TMP-/LOCAL package assign. not allowed. Assign a valid package" typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify an object in the SAP system and the system does not allow you to assign it to a temporary or local package. This is a common restriction in SAP to ensure that objects are properly organized and can be transported between different environments (like development, testing, and production).
  Cause:
  
  Local Package Assignment: The error indicates that you are attempting to assign an object to a local package (TMP or LOCAL), which is not permitted. Local packages are meant for temporary storage and cannot be used for objects that need to be transported.
  Transport Layer Restrictions: The system may have restrictions in place that prevent the assignment of certain objects to local packages to maintain integrity and consistency across different environments.
  Development Environment: If you are working in a development environment, it is essential to assign objects to a valid development package that is transportable.
  
  Solution:
  
  Assign to a Valid Package: Instead of assigning the object to a local or temporary package, you should assign it to a valid development package. You can create a new package if necessary or use an existing one that is appropriate for your development work.
  
  To do this, you can usually find an option in the object creation or modification screen to change the package assignment.
  
  
  Create a New Package: If you do not have a suitable package available, you can create a new package in the SAP system. Make sure to define the package correctly and ensure it is transportable.
  Check Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify packages and objects within the SAP system.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about which package to use, consult your project documentation or speak with your SAP Basis or development team for guidance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to manage packages and objects.
  Package Management: Familiarize yourself with the concept of packages in SAP, including how they are used for transport management and development organization.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional context or solutions related to this error message.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully assign your object to a valid package.
