• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/TYPES061 - Custom Type '&1' deleted during import ?

  The SAP error message /SMB/TYPES061 Custom Type '&1' deleted during import typically occurs during the import of a transport request in SAP. This error indicates that a custom type (data type) that was previously defined in the system has been deleted or is no longer available in the target system where the transport is being imported.
  Cause:
  
  Deletion of Custom Type: The custom type referenced in the error message has been deleted from the source system or was not included in the transport request.
  Transport Request Issues: The transport request may not have been properly created or may not include all necessary objects, leading to missing dependencies.
  Version Mismatch: There may be a version mismatch between the source and target systems, where the custom type exists in one system but not in the other.
  Manual Deletion: The type may have been manually deleted in the target system after the transport request was created.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Transport Request: Verify that the transport request includes the custom type. You can do this by checking the contents of the transport request in the source system.
  Recreate the Custom Type: If the custom type is missing, you may need to recreate it in the target system. This can be done by manually defining the type in the target system or by re-exporting the transport request from the source system.
  Adjust Transport Request: If the custom type was deleted intentionally, you may need to adjust the transport request to exclude references to the deleted type.
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that all dependencies related to the custom type are also included in the transport request. This may involve checking for related data elements, domains, or other types that depend on the custom type.
  Consult Documentation: Review any documentation or change logs to understand why the custom type was deleted and whether it is still needed.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SE01 (Transport Organizer) to manage transport requests and check their contents.
  Transport Logs: Review the transport logs for more detailed information about the import process and any other errors that may have occurred.
