  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TK205 - Object &1 &2 cannot be in customer package &3 ?

    The SAP error message TK205 indicates that an object (like a table, function module, or program) cannot be included in a customer package. This typically occurs when you are trying to transport or modify an object that is not allowed to be in a customer package due to its classification or the way it is defined in the system.

    Cause:

    1. Object Type: The object you are trying to modify or transport is a standard SAP object that is not allowed to be modified in a customer package. Standard objects are usually part of the SAP namespace and are protected from changes to ensure system integrity.
    2. Package Assignment: The object may be assigned to a package that is not a customer package (e.g., a package that belongs to SAP or a development package).
    3. Transport Layer: The transport layer of the object may not allow it to be included in a customer transport request.

    Solution:

    1. Check Object Type: Verify the type of object you are trying to modify. If it is a standard SAP object, consider creating a Z (custom) version of the object or using enhancement techniques (like user exits, BAdIs, etc.) to implement your changes.
    2. Change Package Assignment: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can change the package assignment of the object to a customer package (Z or Y packages). This can be done in the object’s attributes.
    3. Use Enhancement Framework: For standard SAP objects, consider using the SAP Enhancement Framework to implement your changes without modifying the original object directly.
    4. Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific object to understand the best practices for extending or modifying it.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional context or solutions for the specific object you are dealing with.
    • Transport Management: Familiarize yourself with the SAP Transport Management System (TMS) to understand how objects are transported and the implications of package assignments.
    • Development Guidelines: Follow SAP's development guidelines to ensure that you are adhering to best practices when creating custom objects or modifying existing ones.

    If you continue to face issues, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis or development team for further assistance.
