  The SAP error message GC534 ("Method must be active in order to transport") typically occurs when you are trying to transport an object (like a class or a method) that is not active in the system. This error is common in ABAP development when dealing with classes and methods in the Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) environment of SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Method: The method you are trying to transport is not active. In SAP, for a method to be transported, it must be active in the development environment.
  Transport Request Issues: The transport request may not include all necessary objects or may be incorrectly configured.
  Development Class Issues: The class or method might be part of a development class that is not properly set up for transport.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Activate the Method:
  
  Go to the ABAP Workbench (Transaction SE80 or SE24).
  Locate the class containing the method.
  Open the method and activate it. You can do this by clicking on the "Activate" button or using the menu option.
  After activation, try to transport the object again.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Request:

  If necessary, add the method to the transport request manually.
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that all dependencies of the method (like other methods, attributes, or classes) are also active and included in the transport request.
  
  
  
  Recheck Development Class:
  
  Make sure that the development class is set up correctly for transport. You can check the attributes of the class in SE80.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction SE01:
  
  You can use transaction SE01 to check the transport request and see if there are any issues with it.
