• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/TS_PROF018 - Only Customizing requests are allowed; nothing is transported ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/TS_PROF018 indicates that the system is configured to only allow the transport of customizing requests, and it is preventing the transport of other types of requests. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when trying to transport objects that are not classified as customizing requests.
  Cause:
  
  Transport Configuration: The system is set up to restrict transport requests to only those that are classified as customizing requests. This is often a deliberate configuration to ensure that only specific types of changes are transported between systems (e.g., from development to quality assurance or production).
  Request Type: The transport request you are trying to use may not be a customizing request. For example, it could be a workbench request or a transport of copies, which are not allowed in this context.
  Authorization Issues: There may be authorization issues preventing the transport of certain types of requests.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Request Type: Verify the type of transport request you are trying to use. Ensure that it is a customizing request. You can do this by checking the request in the Transport Organizer (transaction SE09 or SE10).
  Create a Customizing Request: If the request you are trying to transport is not a customizing request, you may need to create a new customizing transport request and include the necessary objects in that request.
  Adjust Transport Settings: If you have the necessary authorizations and it is appropriate for your environment, you can adjust the transport settings to allow other types of requests. This typically involves configuration in the Transport Management System (TMS).
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or notes related to transport management and customizing requests for any specific guidelines or best practices.
  Contact Basis Team: If you are unsure about the configuration or need assistance, it may be helpful to contact your SAP Basis team or system administrator for support.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes SE09 and SE10 to manage transport requests.
  Transport Management System (TMS): Familiarize yourself with TMS settings and configurations, as they govern how transports are handled in your SAP landscape.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or solutions related to this error message.
  Authorization Roles: Ensure that your user role has the necessary authorizations to create and transport customizing requests.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully transport the required objects.
