Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_QL_MSG104 - Cannot modify calling variants from package &1 - no open transport req. ?

  The SAP error message ESH_QL_MSG104 indicates that you are trying to modify calling variants in a package that does not have an open transport request. This is a common issue when working with SAP systems, particularly in development environments where changes need to be transported to other systems (like quality assurance or production).
  Cause:
  
  No Open Transport Request: The primary cause of this error is that there is no open transport request associated with the package you are trying to modify. In SAP, changes to objects (like variants) need to be recorded in a transport request to ensure they can be moved between different environments.
  Package Configuration: The package may not be configured to allow modifications without an open transport request.
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to create or modify transport requests.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create an Open Transport Request:
  
  Go to the transaction code SE09 or SE10 to manage transport requests.
  Create a new transport request if one does not exist for the package you are working on.
  Ensure that the transport request is in the "Modifiable" state.
  
  
  
  Assign Objects to the Transport Request:
  
  Once you have an open transport request, you can assign the objects (in this case, the calling variants) to the transport request.
  Make the necessary changes to the calling variants.
  
  
  
  Check Package Settings:
  
  Ensure that the package you are working with is set up correctly to allow modifications. You can check this in transaction SE80 or SE21.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to create and modify transport requests. If not, contact your SAP Basis administrator or security team to grant the required permissions.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If the issue persists, consult SAP documentation or support for further troubleshooting steps specific to your SAP version and configuration.
