• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SV131 - Transport is not permitted in batch input mode ?

  The SAP error message SV131: Transport is not permitted in batch input mode typically occurs when you attempt to execute a transport request in a batch input session. This error indicates that the system does not allow transport operations to be performed in batch input mode, which is primarily used for data uploads or changes.
  Cause:
  The error arises because the transport system in SAP is designed to work in a dialog mode, where user interaction is required. Batch input sessions are meant for processing large volumes of data without user interaction, and certain operations, like transports, cannot be executed in this mode.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Run the Transport in Dialog Mode:
  
  Instead of executing the transport request in batch input mode, run it in dialog mode. You can do this by using transaction codes like SE09 or SE10 to manage transport requests directly.
  
  
  
  Check Batch Input Sessions:
  
  If you are trying to execute a batch input session that includes transport commands, review the session to ensure that it does not contain any transport-related operations.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction Codes:
  
  Ensure you are using the correct transaction codes for transport operations. For example, use SE01, SE09, or SE10 for transport management.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Programs:
  
  If you are using custom programs or scripts to automate transport processes, ensure that they are not inadvertently trying to execute transport commands in batch input mode.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Documentation:
  
  If the issue persists, refer to SAP documentation or support for more detailed guidance on transport management and batch input processing.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Batch Input Sessions: These are used for uploading data into SAP systems without user interaction. They are typically created using transaction codes like SHDB or SM35.
  Transport Management System (TMS): This is the framework used in SAP for managing transport requests across different systems (development, quality assurance, production).
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to transport errors or batch input processing.
