• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RMPS_GENERAL200 - No transport request specified (only optional when simulated) ?

  The SAP error message RMPS_GENERAL200, which states "No transport request specified (only optional when simulated)," typically occurs in the context of transport management within SAP systems. This error indicates that a transport request is required for certain operations, but none has been specified.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Transport Request: The most common cause of this error is that a transport request has not been created or specified when trying to perform an action that requires it.
  Simulated Action: The error message indicates that the transport request is only optional when the action is simulated. If you are not in simulation mode, a transport request is mandatory.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the transport management system (TMS) that prevent the system from recognizing or creating a transport request.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Specify a Transport Request: If you are performing an action that requires a transport request, ensure that you create or specify a valid transport request. You can do this by:
  
  Going to the relevant transaction (e.g., SE09 or SE10) to create a new transport request.
  Associating your changes with the transport request before executing the action again.
  
  
  
  Check Simulation Mode: If you intended to run the action in simulation mode, ensure that you have selected the appropriate options to indicate that you are simulating the action. If the system still prompts for a transport request, double-check the settings.
  
  
  Review Transport Management Configuration: If the issue persists, review the transport management configuration in your SAP system. Ensure that the transport routes and settings are correctly configured.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance related to the transaction or action you are trying to perform.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, especially if this is affecting critical business processes.

  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SE09 (Transport Organizer) and SE10 (Transport Organizer for Workbench Requests) to manage transport requests effectively.
  Transport Management System (TMS): Understanding how TMS works in SAP can help you troubleshoot transport-related issues more effectively.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the RMPS_GENERAL200 error and proceed with your intended actions in SAP.
