  The SAP error message FDT_TRANSPORT172 is related to the Business Rule Framework (BRF+) in SAP, specifically concerning the transport of BRF+ objects. This error indicates that a physical delete operation has been initiated for certain packages that have versioned IDs. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Physical Deletion Request: The error typically arises when there is an attempt to physically delete BRF+ objects (like rules, functions, etc.) that are associated with specific packages. This can happen during a transport request or when cleaning up unused objects.
  Versioned IDs: The mention of "versioned IDs" suggests that the objects in question have multiple versions, and the system is trying to delete a specific version or all versions of the object.
  Transport Issues: There may be inconsistencies or issues with the transport request that is trying to delete these objects, such as dependencies on other objects or incorrect configurations.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Transport Request: Review the transport request that is causing the error. Ensure that it is correctly configured and that all dependencies are accounted for.
  Object Dependencies: Verify if there are any dependencies on the BRF+ objects that are being deleted. If other objects depend on them, you may need to address those dependencies first.
  Manual Deletion: If the physical delete is not necessary, consider manually deleting the objects through the BRF+ workbench (transaction code: BRF+) instead of through a transport request.
  Version Management: If the issue is related to versioned IDs, check the version management settings in BRF+ and ensure that the correct versions are being targeted for deletion.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to BRF+ and transport management for any specific guidelines or known issues.
  SAP Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, especially if this is affecting production systems.
  
  Related Information:
  
  BRF+ Documentation: Familiarize yourself with the BRF+ documentation available on the SAP Help Portal for best practices and guidelines on managing BRF+ objects.
  Transport Management: Understanding the transport management system (TMS) in SAP can help in troubleshooting transport-related issues.
  SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional context and solutions.
