• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message INST_MSG705 - & has dependencies: cannot be moved ?

  The SAP error message INST_MSG705 typically indicates that there is an issue with the installation or configuration of an SAP system, particularly related to the transport of objects or dependencies between different components or systems. The message "has dependencies: cannot be moved" suggests that there are dependencies that prevent the object from being moved or transported.
  Cause:
  
  Dependency Issues: The object you are trying to move has dependencies on other objects that are not included in the transport request.

  Version Mismatch: The object may be incompatible with the version of the target system.

  Include Missing Objects: If there are missing objects that the current object depends on, include them in the transport request.
  Transport Request Review: Ensure that the transport request is complete and contains all necessary objects. You can do this by checking the transport logs.
