  The SAP error message FOT_TRANSPORT_SRV014 indicates that a batch input session (BI-Session) with the specified session ID does not exist in the system at the time of the check. This error typically occurs when you are trying to process or access a session that has not been created, has been deleted, or is not yet available for processing.
  Causes:
  
  Session Not Created: The batch input session you are trying to access has not been created yet. This can happen if the process that generates the session has not been executed.
  Session Deletion: The session may have been deleted or processed already, and thus it no longer exists in the system.
  Incorrect Session ID: The session ID you are using may be incorrect or mistyped.
  Timing Issues: There may be a delay in the system where the session is still being created or is in the process of being finalized.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Session Creation: Verify that the process that generates the batch input session has been executed successfully. You can do this by checking the relevant transaction or program that is supposed to create the session.
  Use Transaction SM35: Go to transaction SM35 (Batch Input Monitoring) to check for existing sessions. Look for the session ID you are trying to access and see if it appears in the list.
  Verify Session ID: Double-check the session ID you are using to ensure it is correct. If you are using a dynamic session ID, ensure that it is being generated correctly.
  Wait and Retry: If the session is being created, wait for a moment and then try accessing it again. Sometimes, there may be a slight delay in session availability.
  Check for Errors: If the session was supposed to be created but is not showing up, check for any errors in the process that generates the session. Look for logs or messages that might indicate why the session was not created.
