• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCI501 - No request was selected ?

  The SAP error message SCI501 ("No request was selected") typically occurs in the context of the SAP Change and Transport System (CTS) when you are trying to perform an action that requires a transport request, but no transport request has been selected or available for processing.
  Cause:
  
  No Transport Request Created: You may not have created a transport request for the changes you are trying to transport.
  Incorrect Selection: You may not have selected a transport request in the transport management interface.
  Transport Request Status: The transport request may be in a status that does not allow it to be processed (e.g., it is not released).
  Authorization Issues: You may not have the necessary authorizations to view or select transport requests.
  
  Solution:
  
  Create a Transport Request: If you haven't created a transport request, do so by using transaction SE09 or SE10. Make sure to include the changes you want to transport.
  Select the Correct Request: Ensure that you are selecting the correct transport request in the transport management interface. Check the list of available requests and select one that is appropriate for your changes.
  Check Request Status: Verify the status of the transport request. It should be in a "Released" state to be eligible for transport. If it is not released, you can release it using transaction SE09 or SE10.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access and select transport requests. You may need to contact your SAP security administrator if you suspect authorization issues.
