• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPCND/CUST_T004 - Source client &1 is same as current client -> Return. ?

  The SAP error message /SAPCND/CUST_T004 Source client &1 is same as current client -> Return typically occurs when you are trying to perform a transport or a customization activity that involves client-specific data, and the source client you are trying to use is the same as the current client you are logged into. This is a safeguard mechanism in SAP to prevent unintended changes to the same client.
  Cause:
  
  The error is triggered when the system detects that the source client (the client from which you are trying to copy or transport data) is the same as the target client (the client you are currently logged into). This is not allowed because it could lead to data inconsistencies or overwriting of existing data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Change the Source Client: If you are trying to copy or transport data, ensure that you select a different source client that is not the same as the current client. You can do this by:
  
  Logging into a different client.
  Specifying a different client in the transport request or customization activity.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Requests: If you are working with transport requests, ensure that the requests are correctly configured to point to the appropriate source and target clients.
  
  
  Check Customization Activities: If you are performing customization activities, verify that you are not trying to apply changes from the same client.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the process, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for guidance on how to properly manage client-specific data.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Client Concept in SAP: SAP systems are organized into clients, which are separate environments within the same system. Each client can have its own set of data and configurations.
  Transport Management System (TMS): Understand how the TMS works in SAP, as it is responsible for managing the transport of objects between different clients and systems.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional insights or updates related to this error message.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with your SAP support team for further investigation.
