• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TK683 - Request &1 can only include client-specific customizing ?

  The SAP error message TK683 indicates that a transport request (identified by &1) is attempting to include objects that are not allowed in a client-specific customizing transport. This typically occurs when you try to transport objects that are not client-specific (e.g., cross-client objects) in a transport request that is designated for client-specific changes.
  Cause:
  
  Client-Specific vs. Cross-Client Objects: The transport request is meant for client-specific customizing, but it contains objects that are cross-client (e.g., certain configuration settings, data dictionary objects, etc.).
  Incorrect Transport Request Type: The transport request may have been incorrectly categorized as client-specific when it should be cross-client or vice versa.
  Inclusion of Non-Customizing Objects: Attempting to include objects that are not part of the customizing settings, such as program code or data dictionary objects, in a client-specific transport.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Transport Request: Review the contents of the transport request to identify which objects are included. You can do this using transaction code SE09 or SE10.
  Separate Transport Requests: If you find that the transport request contains both client-specific and cross-client objects, create separate transport requests:
  
  One for client-specific customizing objects.
  Another for cross-client objects.
  
  
  Adjust Object Types: Ensure that only client-specific objects (like certain configuration settings) are included in the client-specific transport request.
  Use the Correct Transport Type: If you need to transport cross-client objects, use a transport request that is designated for cross-client changes.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transport Management System (TMS): Understanding how the TMS works can help in managing transport requests effectively.
  Client-Specific Customizing: Familiarize yourself with what constitutes client-specific customizing in SAP, as this will help in correctly categorizing your transport requests.
