• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMB/BA_SAM153 - Data base tables are updated without generating a Customizing transport ?

  The SAP error message /PLMB/BA_SAM153 indicates that database tables have been updated without generating a Customizing transport request. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Customizing settings, where changes made to the system should be transported to other systems (like development to quality assurance or production) to maintain consistency.
  Cause:
  
  Direct Changes: Changes were made directly in the database tables without using the proper transport mechanism. This can happen if users have access to modify settings directly in the system.
  Missing Transport Request: A Customizing transport request was not created or released when changes were made.
  Development Environment: Changes made in a development environment that were not captured in a transport request before moving to a different environment.
  System Configuration: The system configuration might allow for direct updates, which can lead to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create a Transport Request: If changes have been made directly, you should create a transport request to capture these changes. This can be done by:
  
  Going to the relevant transaction (e.g., SPRO for Customizing).
  Making the necessary changes.
  Ensuring that a transport request is created and released.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Logs: Review the transport logs to ensure that all necessary changes are included in the transport request.
  
  
  Use the Correct Transactions: Always use the appropriate transactions for making changes to Customizing settings to ensure that they are captured in a transport request.
  
  
  Review User Authorizations: Ensure that users have the correct authorizations to make changes and that they are aware of the need to create transport requests.
  
  
  System Configuration Review: Review the system configuration to prevent direct updates to database tables without transport requests in the future.

  Documentation: Ensure that all changes are documented and that there is a clear process for making and transporting changes in the system.
  
  By following these steps, you can resolve the error and prevent it from occurring in the future.
