Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/PRT_BO011 - Specify a Customizing request to save ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/PRT_BO011 Specify a Customizing request to save typically occurs when you are trying to save changes in the SAP system that require a transport request, but one has not been specified. This is common in scenarios where you are making configuration changes in the system, particularly in the context of customizing settings.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Transport Request: The most common cause of this error is that you are trying to save changes in a customizing transaction without having a transport request assigned. In SAP, changes to customizing settings need to be recorded in a transport request for proper version control and transport to other systems (like QA or Production).
  
  
  User Authorization: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to create or assign a transport request.
  
  
  System Configuration: The system may be configured in such a way that it requires a transport request for certain actions, and if the request is not specified, this error will occur.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create a Transport Request:
  
  When you are prompted with the error, you can create a new transport request. This can usually be done by clicking on the "Create" button in the transport request dialog that appears when you try to save your changes.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SE09 or SE10 to manage transport requests.
  
  
  
  Assign an Existing Transport Request:
  
  If you already have a transport request that you want to use, you can assign it to your changes. This can be done in the transport request dialog by entering the request number.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that your user profile has the necessary authorizations to create and manage transport requests. You may need to contact your SAP Basis or security team if you lack the required permissions.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the process, refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines on transport management and customizing.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transport Management System (TMS): Understanding how the TMS works in SAP can help you manage transport requests effectively.
  Customizing in SAP: Familiarize yourself with the customizing process in SAP, including how to create and manage transport requests.
