• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_IEF_MSG147 - Transport-relevant package &1 must not consume local package &2 ?

  The SAP error message ESH_IEF_MSG147 indicates that there is a transport-relevant package that is consuming a local package, which is not allowed in the SAP transport system. This situation typically arises when you are trying to transport objects that are defined in a package that is not transportable (local) and is being referenced by a transportable package.
  Cause:
  
  Package Dependency: The transport-relevant package (e.g., a package that is meant to be transported between systems) is dependent on a local package (a package that is not meant to be transported).
  Incorrect Package Assignment: Objects in the transport-relevant package are incorrectly assigned to or referencing a local package.
  Development Environment: This often occurs in a development environment where local packages are used for testing or development purposes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Package Assignment:
  
  Go to the package in question and check the objects assigned to it. Ensure that none of the objects in the transport-relevant package are referencing or consuming objects from the local package.
  
  
  
  Reassign Objects:
  
  If you find that objects in the transport-relevant package are dependent on the local package, consider moving those objects to a transportable package or reassigning them to a different package that is transportable.
  
  
  
  Create a New Transportable Package:
  
  If necessary, create a new transportable package and move the relevant objects from the local package to this new package.
  
  
  
  Adjust Dependencies:
  
  Review the dependencies between the packages and adjust them as needed to ensure that the transport-relevant package does not depend on any local packages.
  
  
  
  Transport Request:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, create a new transport request and include the transport-relevant package without any dependencies on local packages.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Package Types: In SAP, packages can be classified as local or transportable. Local packages are used for development and testing within a single system, while transportable packages are meant for transporting objects between different systems (e.g., from development to quality assurance or production).
  Transport Management System (TMS): Understanding how the TMS works can help in managing packages and transport requests effectively.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional insights or solutions related to this error message.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully transport your objects.
