• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TK672 - System settings only allow &1 as target system ?

  The SAP error message TK672 indicates that the system settings only allow a specific target system for a particular operation, such as a transport request. This error typically arises in the context of transport management, where the system is trying to perform a transport operation (like importing a transport request) to a target system that is not permitted by the current configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Target System Configuration: The target system you are trying to use is not configured in the Transport Management System (TMS) settings. This could be due to restrictions set in the TMS configuration.
  Transport Route Issues: The transport route may not include the target system you are trying to access, or the route may be inactive.
  Transport Layer Restrictions: The transport layer associated with the transport request may have restrictions that limit the target systems.
  Client-Specific Settings: The client settings may restrict certain operations to specific target systems.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check TMS Configuration:
  
  Go to the Transport Management System (TMS) configuration in the SAP GUI (transaction code STMS).
  Verify the transport routes and ensure that the target system is correctly configured and active.
  Ensure that the transport layer is correctly set up and includes the target system.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Layer:
  
  Check the transport layer settings (transaction code SE03 -> Transport Organizer Tools -> Transport Layer).
  Ensure that the transport layer allows the transport request to be directed to the intended target system.
  
  
  
  Adjust Client Settings:
  
  If client-specific settings are causing the issue, review the client settings and adjust them as necessary to allow the transport to the desired target system.
  
  
  
  Consult with Basis Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, consult with your SAP Basis team or system administrator. They can help adjust the settings or provide further insights into the configuration.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Request:
  
  Ensure that the transport request you are trying to import is intended for the target system you are using. Sometimes, the transport request may be created for a different target system.
