  The SAP error message PU708 "No transport target defined for request &1 (not imported)" typically occurs when there is an issue with the transport request in the SAP system. This error indicates that the transport request you are trying to import does not have a valid transport target defined, which means that the system does not know where to send the transport request.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Transport Target: The transport request does not have a target system defined in the transport directory.
  Incorrect Configuration: The transport routes may not be correctly configured in the Transport Management System (TMS).
  Transport Request Status: The transport request may be in a status that does not allow it to be imported (e.g., it might be in a "modification" status).
  Transport Layer Issues: The transport layer associated with the request may not be properly set up or may not exist.
  Transport Directory Issues: There may be issues with the transport directory configuration or the transport directory itself.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Transport Request: Verify the transport request in the Transport Organizer (SE09 or SE10) to ensure it has a valid target system defined.
