TK171 - Details

• The SAP error message TK171 indicates that there is a mismatch between the client of the object you are trying to access and the current client you are logged into. This typically occurs when you attempt to access or modify data that belongs to a different client than the one you are currently using.
  
  Cause:
  
  Client-Specific Data: In SAP, data is often client-specific, meaning that certain objects (like configuration settings, master data, etc.) are tied to a specific client. If you are logged into a client (e.g., client 100) and try to access an object that belongs to another client (e.g., client 200), you will encounter this error.
  Transport Issues: If you are working with transport requests, the objects may have been transported to a different client, leading to this mismatch.
  Development and Production Environment: Sometimes, developers may inadvertently try to access production data from a development client or vice versa.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Client: Verify that
