• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCTS_DIST_CTL_ORGNZE121 - The collection already contains external requests with import system &1 ?

  The SAP error message SCTS_DIST_CTL_ORGNZE121 indicates that there is an issue with the transport request collection in the context of the SAP Change and Transport System (CTS). Specifically, it means that the collection already contains external requests that are associated with a specific import system, denoted by &1 in the error message.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  You are trying to add a transport request to a collection that already includes requests from an external system (e.g., a different SAP system).
  The transport request you are trying to add is from a different system than the one already present in the collection, which violates the rules of how transport requests can be organized in collections.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Collection: Review the transport request collection to see which requests are already included. You can do this by navigating to the transport organizer (transaction SE09 or SE10) and examining the details of the collection.
  
  
  Remove Conflicting Requests: If the collection contains requests from an external system that you do not need, consider removing those requests from the collection. This can be done by selecting the request and using the option to delete or remove it from the collection.
  
  
  Create a New Collection: If you need to keep the existing requests in the current collection, you may want to create a new collection specifically for the transport requests you are trying to add. This way, you can avoid conflicts with the existing requests.
  
  
  Check Transport Routes: Ensure that the transport routes are correctly configured and that you are using the correct systems for your transport requests. Misconfigured transport routes can lead to such issues.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the transport requests and their origins, consult the SAP documentation or your system administrator for guidance on how to manage transport requests and collections.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance. You can search for notes in the SAP Support Portal.
