  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SF262 - The active enterprise menu was written to the request number & ?

    The SAP error message SF262 indicates that the active enterprise menu has been written to a transport request. This message typically occurs during the transport of changes in the SAP system, particularly when dealing with the enterprise menu or other related objects.

    Cause:

    1. Transport Request Creation: The error message is informational and indicates that the active enterprise menu has been captured in a transport request. This usually happens when changes are made to the menu structure or when new transactions are added.
    2. Menu Changes: If you or someone else has made changes to the enterprise menu, such as adding or removing items, these changes need to be transported to other systems (like QA or Production).
    3. System Configuration: The message may also appear if there are inconsistencies in the menu configuration or if the transport system is not set up correctly.

    Solution:

    1. Check Transport Request: Review the transport request number mentioned in the error message. You can do this by using transaction code SE09 or SE10 to see the details of the transport request and ensure that it contains the expected changes.
    2. Release Transport Request: If the transport request is correct and contains the necessary changes, you can release it for transport to other systems.
    3. Menu Configuration: If you did not intend to make changes to the enterprise menu, check the configuration settings and ensure that no unintended changes have been made.
    4. Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the changes made, consult the documentation or change logs to understand what modifications were applied to the enterprise menu.
    5. System Administrator: If you are not the system administrator, you may need to contact them for assistance in resolving any issues related to transport requests or menu configurations.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SE09 (Transport Organizer), SE10 (Transport Organizer - Workbench Requests), and SE80 (Object Navigator) for managing transport requests and objects.
    • Transport Management System (TMS): Understanding how the TMS works in your SAP landscape can help in managing transports effectively.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to the enterprise menu or transport requests.

    This error message is generally not a critical error but rather a notification about the state of the transport request. If you follow the steps above, you should be able to manage the situation effectively.
