• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RQ420 - Change will be lost during next import from system &1 ?

  The SAP error message RQ420 ("Change will be lost during next import from system &1") typically occurs in the context of transport management within SAP systems. This message indicates that there are changes made in the system that have not been transported to the target system, and if an import occurs from the source system, those changes will be overwritten or lost.
  Cause:
  
  Untransported Changes: The most common cause of this error is that changes (like configuration changes, customizations, or development objects) have been made in the system that are not yet included in a transport request.
  Transport Request Not Released: The transport request containing the changes has not been released, meaning it is still in a state where it can be modified.
  Import from Source System: An import from another system (like a development system to a quality assurance or production system) is scheduled or initiated, which would overwrite local changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Release Transport Request: If the changes are intended to be transported, ensure that the transport request containing those changes is released. You can do this in the Transport Organizer (transaction SE09 or SE10).
  Manually Transport Changes: If the changes are not yet in a transport request, you can create a new transport request and include the changes. After that, release the transport request.
  Backup Changes: If the changes are not meant to be transported and you want to keep them, consider documenting or backing them up before proceeding with the import.
  Check Import Queue: Review the import queue to see if there are any pending imports that might affect your changes. You can use transaction STMS to manage transport requests and imports.
  Consult with Team: If you are unsure about the changes or the transport process, consult with your SAP Basis team or the team responsible for transport management.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transport Management System (TMS): Understanding how TMS works in SAP can help you manage transports effectively. Familiarize yourself with transactions like STMS, SE09, and SE10.
  Change Management: Implementing a change management process can help prevent such issues in the future by ensuring that all changes are properly documented and transported.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional insights or solutions related to this error message.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RQ420 error and ensure that your changes are either safely transported or preserved as needed.
