• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CORE486 - Target &1 is recorded on another transport request ?

  The SAP error message FDT_CORE486 indicates that the target object you are trying to transport is already recorded in another transport request. This typically occurs when multiple transport requests are trying to include the same object, which can lead to conflicts during the transport process.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entries: The object you are trying to transport (e.g., a function module, class, or other development object) has already been included in a different transport request.
  Transport Request Management: The transport management system (TMS) is designed to prevent the same object from being included in multiple requests to avoid inconsistencies.
  Development Environment: If multiple developers are working on the same object, one developer may have already added it to their transport request.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify the Transport Request: 
  
  Use transaction code SE01 (Transport Organizer) or SE09 (Workbench Organizer) to find the transport request that already contains the object.
  You can search for the object name or type to locate the transport request.
  
  
  
  Remove the Object from the Other Request:
  
  If you have access and it is appropriate, you can remove the object from the other transport request if it is not yet released or if it is safe to do so.
  
  
  
  Include the Object in Your Own Request:
  
  If the object is already in another transport request and you need to make changes, you may need to create a new version of the object or work on a different object that does not conflict.
  
  
  
  Coordinate with Team Members:
  
  Communicate with your team to ensure that everyone is aware of which transport requests are being used for which objects to avoid conflicts in the future.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Logs:
  
  Review transport logs for any additional information or errors that may provide context for the issue.
