• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PACKAGE_BUILDER01022 - Copy not possible: Package &1 is a structure package, package &2 is not ?

  The SAP error message PACKAGE_BUILDER01022 indicates that there is an issue with the package structure during a transport or package copy operation. Specifically, it states that the operation cannot be completed because one of the packages involved is a structure package while the other is not.
  Cause:
  
  Structure Package vs. Non-Structure Package: In SAP, a structure package is a special type of package that is used to group other packages or objects. If you attempt to copy or move a structure package to a non-structure package (or vice versa), this error will occur.
  Incorrect Package Hierarchy: The error may arise if the package you are trying to copy is not compatible with the target package due to the hierarchy or type mismatch.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Package Types: Verify the types of both packages involved in the operation. You can do this by navigating to the package in the SAP GUI and checking its properties.
  Use Compatible Packages: Ensure that you are copying or moving packages between compatible types. If you need to copy a structure package, make sure the target package is also a structure package.
  Adjust Package Structure: If necessary, you may need to adjust the structure of your packages. This could involve creating a new structure package or reorganizing existing packages to ensure compatibility.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on package management and structure packages.
