• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SXCO080 - Objects must only be created in package &1. ?

  The SAP error message SXCO080 indicates that you are trying to create an object (such as a program, function module, or class) in a package that does not allow the creation of objects. This typically occurs when you attempt to create an object in a package that is either a "non-modifiable" package or a package that is not intended for development.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Modifiable Package: The package you are trying to create the object in is marked as non-modifiable. This means that it is either a standard SAP package or a package that has been set to prevent modifications.
  Development Package: You may be trying to create an object in a package that is not designated for development purposes. Only development packages allow the creation of new objects.
  Transport Layer Issues: If the package is part of a transport layer that does not allow changes, you will encounter this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Use a Development Package: Ensure that you are creating the object in a valid development package. You can create a new package if necessary, or use an existing one that is designated for development.
  
  To create a new package, go to transaction SE80 (Object Navigator), select "Packages," and then create a new package with the appropriate attributes.
  
  
  
  Check Package Attributes: If you are unsure about the package you are using, you can check its attributes in transaction SE80 or SE21. Look for the "Modifiable" checkbox and ensure it is checked.
  
  
  Change the Package: If you have mistakenly selected a non-modifiable package, you can change the package of the object you are trying to create. When prompted for the package during object creation, select a valid development package.
  
  
  Consult with Basis Team: If you believe the package should allow modifications but it does not, consult with your SAP Basis team. They can check the package settings and transport layer configurations.
