• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CORE141 - Use of local object &1 is not allowed ?

  The SAP error message FDT_CORE141 with the description "Use of local object &1 is not allowed" typically occurs in the context of SAP's Form Data Technology (FDT) or when working with forms and templates in SAP systems. This error indicates that there is an attempt to use a local object (a development object that is not transportable) in a context where only transportable objects are allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Local Object Usage: The error is triggered when a local object (identified by the prefix * in the object name) is being referenced in a transportable context, such as a transport request or a development environment that requires objects to be transportable.
  Development Environment: The object might have been created in a local development environment (e.g., a developer's sandbox) and is not available in the global transport directory.
  Transport Request Issues: If the object is part of a transport request but is still marked as a local object, it cannot be used in the intended way.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Convert Local Object to Transportable:
  
  If you have access to the object, you can convert it from a local object to a transportable object. This typically involves creating a new object in the correct transport request.
  Use transaction SE80 or SE11 to create a new object and ensure it is assigned to a transport request.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  Ensure that the object is included in a transport request. You can check this in transaction SE09 or SE10.
  If the object is not in a transport request, you may need to create a transport request and include the object.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Object:
  
  If the object is not critical, consider recreating it in the correct transportable format.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to FDT and local objects for any specific guidelines or updates.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
