• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM2503 - The request does not have 'OK' status - no system logging is permitted ?

  The SAP error message RSM2503, which states "The request does not have 'OK' status - no system logging is permitted," typically occurs in the context of the SAP system's data transport and logistics processes, particularly when dealing with transport requests in the Transport Management System (TMS).
  Cause:
  This error message indicates that the transport request you are trying to log or process does not have an 'OK' status. In SAP, transport requests must be in a valid state (usually 'Released' or 'Completed') to allow for certain operations, including logging. If the request is still in a 'Modifiable' or 'In Process' state, or if it has been rejected or is in an error state, you will encounter this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSM2503 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Status of the Transport Request:
  
  Go to transaction code SE09 or SE10 to view the transport requests.
  Look for the specific transport request that is causing the issue and check its status.
  
  
  
  Release the Transport Request:
  
  If the transport request is still in a modifiable state, you may need to release it. Right-click on the request and select the option to release it.
  Ensure that all objects within the request are correctly included and that there are no errors.
  
  
  
  Check for Errors:
  
  If the request is in an error state, you may need to resolve any underlying issues before it can be processed. This could involve checking for missing objects or dependencies.
  
  
  
  Re-import the Request:
  
  If the request was previously imported and is now causing issues, you may need to re-import it after ensuring it is in the correct state.
  
  
  
  Consult Logs:
  
  Check the transport logs for any additional error messages or warnings that could provide more context on why the request is not in 'OK' status.
  
  
  
  Contact Basis Team:
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue, it may be necessary to involve your SAP Basis team or system administrator, as they can provide deeper insights and access to system logs.
