• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /STMC/CR_MSG172 - Internal development object cannot be transported ?

  The SAP error message /STMC/CR_MSG172 Internal development object cannot be transported typically occurs when you attempt to transport an object that is not eligible for transport. This can happen for various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding a solution.
  Causes:
  
  
  Object Type: The object you are trying to transport may be an internal development object that is not designed to be transported. This can include certain types of customizations or configurations that are meant to remain in the development environment.
  
  
  Transport Layer Issues: The transport layer settings may not allow the transport of certain objects. This can happen if the object is not assigned to a transportable package.
  
  
  Transport Request Status: The transport request may be in a status that does not allow for the transport of new objects, such as being released or closed.
  
  
  Missing Transport Connection: If the transport connection between the systems (Development, Quality, Production) is not properly configured, it may prevent certain objects from being transported.
  
  
  Development Class: The object may belong to a development class that is marked as "local" or is not transportable.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Object Type: Verify the type of object you are trying to transport. If it is indeed an internal object that cannot be transported, you may need to find an alternative way to implement the changes (e.g., manual configuration).
  
  
  Review Transport Layer: Ensure that the object is assigned to a transportable package. You can check this in the object’s attributes or properties.
  
  
  Check Transport Request Status: Make sure that the transport request is in the correct status (e.g., "Modifiable"). If it is released or closed, you may need to create a new transport request.
  
  
  Verify Transport Connection: Check the transport routes and connections between your SAP systems to ensure they are correctly configured. You can do this using transaction code STMS.
  
  
  Development Class Settings: If the object belongs to a development class, check its settings to ensure it is marked as transportable. You can do this in the Object Navigator (SE80) or using transaction SE11 for database objects.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific object type you are working with to understand its transportability.
