• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CORE427 - &1 using local object &2 cannot be copied to a non-local application &3 ?

  The SAP error message FDT_CORE427 indicates that there is an issue with trying to copy a local object (development object) to a non-local application. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's development environment, particularly when working with the Form Data Tool (FDT) or similar development tools.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to copy or transport a local object (denoted by the local object ID, usually starting with *) to a non-local application (like a transportable object in a different client or system). Local objects are meant for temporary or testing purposes and cannot be transported or copied to other systems or clients.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Convert Local Object to Transportable Object:
  
  If you need to transport the object, you should create a transportable version of it. This can usually be done by creating a new object in the appropriate package instead of using a local object.
  You can do this by:
  
  Going to the object in the development environment.
  Selecting the option to create a new object and assigning it to a transportable package.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Object Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the object you are trying to copy is assigned to a valid transportable package. You can check this in the object properties.
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Transport Request:
  
  If you are working with transport requests, make sure you are using the correct transport request that is not a local request.
  
  
  
  Review Development Guidelines:
  
  Follow your organization’s development guidelines to ensure that objects are created and managed properly, especially regarding local vs. transportable objects.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Local Objects: These are typically used for testing and development purposes and are not intended for transport between systems. They are identified by the * prefix in their object name.
  Transport Requests: These are used to move objects between different SAP systems (like Development, Quality Assurance, and Production). Objects must be assigned to a transportable package to be included in a transport request.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional context or solutions for this error message.
