• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message I0318 - Only objects with active status DEFL are selected! ?

  The SAP error message I0318 "Only objects with active status DEFL are selected!" typically occurs in the context of SAP's data management or transport system, particularly when dealing with transport requests or object selection for a transport.
  Cause:
  This error indicates that the system is trying to process objects that are not in an "active" state. In SAP, objects (like programs, function modules, etc.) must be in an active state (DEFL - Defined) to be included in a transport request or to be processed in certain operations. If the objects are in a different state (like "inactive" or "deleted"), the system will not allow them to be selected.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Object Status:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (like SE80 for Object Navigator or SE11 for Data Dictionary).
  Check the status of the objects you are trying to transport. Ensure they are active.
  
  
  
  Activate Inactive Objects:
  
  If you find that the objects are inactive, you can activate them. In the Object Navigator (SE80), right-click on the object and select "Activate" or use the appropriate transaction for the object type.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Request:
  
  If you are working with a transport request, ensure that all objects included in the request are active. You may need to remove inactive objects from the transport request.
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Sometimes, objects may depend on other objects that are inactive. Ensure that all dependencies are also active.
  
  
  
  Recreate Transport Request:
  
  If the issue persists, consider creating a new transport request and adding only the active objects to it.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more specific guidance related to the objects you are working with.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: SE80 (Object Navigator), SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE37 (Function Modules), SE38 (ABAP Programs).
  Object Types: Programs, Function Modules, Classes, Tables, etc.
  Transport Management System (TMS): Understanding how TMS works can help in managing transport requests effectively.
