• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWUO119 - Document saved, but no transport entry created ?

  The SAP error message SWUO119, which states "Document saved, but no transport entry created," typically occurs in the context of workflow management in SAP. This message indicates that while a document (such as a workflow definition or a change) has been saved, it has not been assigned to a transport request. This can be problematic when you want to transport changes from one SAP system to another (e.g., from development to quality assurance or production).
  Causes:
  
  
  No Transport Request Created: The most common cause is that the system did not create a transport request for the changes made. This can happen if the user does not have the necessary authorizations or if the transport system is not configured correctly.
  
  
  Local Object: The object may have been saved as a local object (with the prefix $TMP), which means it is not transportable.
  
  
  Transport Organizer Issues: There may be issues with the transport organizer settings or the transport routes configured in the system.
  
  
  User Authorizations: The user may lack the necessary authorizations to create or assign transport requests.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Transport Request: Ensure that you are working in a development environment where transport requests can be created. If you are in a local object context, try to save the object in a transportable way.
  
  
  Create a Transport Request Manually: If the system did not create a transport request automatically, you can manually create one and then assign the object to it. You can do this by:
  
  Going to the transaction SE09 or SE10 (Transport Organizer).
  Creating a new transport request.
  Assigning the object to the transport request.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to create transport requests. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis or security team to ensure your user role has the appropriate permissions.
  
  
  Review Transport Configuration: Check the transport configuration in your SAP system. Ensure that the transport routes are correctly set up and that the transport directory is accessible.
  
  
  Use Transaction SWU3: You can use transaction SWU3 (Automatic Workflow Customizing) to check and configure workflow settings, which may help in resolving transport-related issues.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
