• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/MD_AS_CUST025 - Transport Request &1 must be a Customizing Request ?

  The SAP error message /SMB/MD_AS_CUST025 Transport Request &1 must be a Customizing Request typically occurs when you are trying to transport an object that is not part of a Customizing request. This error is often encountered in the context of SAP's Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) or when working with the SAP Business One integration.
  Cause:
  
  
  Incorrect Transport Request Type: The transport request you are trying to use is not a Customizing request. In SAP, there are different types of transport requests, such as Workbench requests and Customizing requests. Customizing requests are specifically meant for configuration changes, while Workbench requests are for development objects.
  
  
  Object Type Mismatch: The object you are trying to transport may not be compatible with the type of transport request you are using. For example, if you are trying to transport configuration settings, you need to ensure that the transport request is indeed a Customizing request.
  
  
  Transport Request Status: The transport request might be in a status that does not allow it to be used for the intended purpose (e.g., it might be released or locked).
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create a Customizing Request: If you are trying to transport configuration settings, create a new Customizing request. You can do this in the Transport Organizer (transaction code SE09 or SE10) by selecting the option to create a new Customizing request.
  
  
  Check Transport Request Type: Ensure that the transport request you are using is indeed a Customizing request. You can check this in the Transport Organizer by looking at the request type.
  
  
  Use the Correct Transport Request: If you have an existing Customizing request that is appropriate for the objects you are trying to transport, use that request instead.
  
  
  Release the Transport Request: If the transport request is in a status that prevents it from being used, you may need to release it or change its status accordingly.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the type of transport request needed for your specific scenario, consult the SAP documentation or your system administrator for guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transport Organizer: Use transaction codes SE09 or SE10 to manage transport requests.
