• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/PRT_BO031 - Template &1 is already included in a Customizing request ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/PRT_BO031 Template &1 is already included in a Customizing request typically occurs when you are trying to include a template in a Customizing request that has already been included in another request. This can happen during the configuration of the Production Resource Tools (PRT) in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Inclusion: The template you are trying to include has already been added to a different Customizing request. SAP does not allow the same template to be included in multiple requests simultaneously to maintain data integrity.
  Transport Request Management: The system is designed to prevent conflicts and ensure that changes are tracked properly through transport requests.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Requests: 
  
  Use transaction code SE09 or SE10 to check the existing transport requests. Look for the request that already includes the template you are trying to add.
  If you find the request, you can either:
  
  Remove the template from that request if it is not needed.
  Use that existing request to transport the changes instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  
  
  Create a New Template: 
  
  If the template is essential and cannot be removed from the existing request, consider creating a new template that serves your purpose.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your Team: 
  
  If you are working in a team environment, consult with your colleagues to ensure that the template is not being used elsewhere or that someone else is not working on the same Customizing request.
  
  
  
  Transport Management: 
  
  If you are in a development environment, ensure that the transport requests are properly managed and released before trying to include the template again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SE09 (Transport Organizer) and SE10 (Transport Organizer - Workbench Requests) to manage transport requests effectively.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to PRT and transport management for best practices and guidelines.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional context or solutions.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis or technical support team for further assistance.
