• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCTS_DIST_CTL_ORGNZE035 - Collection of this type can only contain transports of copies ?

  The SAP error message SCTS_DIST_CTL_ORGNZE035 indicates that you are trying to add a transport request that is not a "transport of copies" (ToC) to a collection that only allows transport of copies. This error typically occurs in the context of transport management in SAP, particularly when dealing with transport collections in the Transport Management System (TMS).
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You attempt to include a standard transport request (which is meant for transporting changes) in a collection that is specifically configured to only accept transport of copies.
  Transport of copies are used primarily for testing purposes or to move changes without affecting the original transport requests.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Type of Transport Request:
  
  Verify if the transport request you are trying to add is indeed a transport of copies. You can do this by checking the transport request type in the Transport Organizer (SE09 or SE10).
  
  
  
  Create a Transport of Copies:
  
  If you need to include changes in a collection that only accepts transport of copies, you may need to create a transport of copies from the original transport request. This can be done using the following steps:
  
  Go to transaction SE09 or SE10.
  Select the original transport request.
  Use the option to create a transport of copies.
  
  
  
  
  
  Add the Transport of Copies to the Collection:
  
  Once you have created the transport of copies, you can then add it to the collection that is configured to accept only transport of copies.
  
  
  
  Review Collection Settings:
  
  If you have control over the transport collection settings, you may want to review the configuration to see if it can be adjusted to allow standard transports if that aligns with your transport strategy.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transport Management System (TMS): Understand how TMS works in SAP, including the different types of transport requests (standard transports, transport of copies, etc.).
  Transport Organizer (SE09/SE10): Familiarize yourself with the Transport Organizer transactions to manage and monitor transport requests effectively.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional insights or updates related to transport management and error handling.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and manage your transport requests effectively.
