• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PAK160 - Virtual standard package interfaces do not contain any develop. objects ?

  The SAP error message PAK160 indicates that a virtual standard package does not contain any development objects. This typically occurs in the context of transport requests or when working with packages in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Empty Package: The virtual standard package you are trying to work with does not have any development objects assigned to it. This can happen if the package was created but no objects (like programs, function modules, classes, etc.) were added to it.
  Transport Request Issues: If you are trying to transport a package and it is empty, the system will throw this error.
  Incorrect Package Assignment: Objects may not be correctly assigned to the package you are trying to use, leading to the package appearing empty.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Package Contents: Verify the contents of the package in transaction SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE21 (Transport Organizer). Ensure that there are development objects assigned to the package.
  Add Development Objects: If the package is indeed empty, you can add development objects to it. This can be done by creating new objects or moving existing objects into the package.
  Review Transport Requests: If you are working with transport requests, ensure that the request includes the necessary objects. You may need to create a new transport request and include the relevant objects.
  Reassign Objects: If objects are not correctly assigned to the package, you can reassign them using transaction SE80 or SE11 (for database objects).
  Check Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and modify the package and its contents.
