• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TK797 - You can only relocate objects in a customer package in a customer system ?

  The SAP error message TK797, "You can only relocate objects in a customer package in a customer system," typically occurs when you attempt to relocate or transport objects that are not in a customer package or are in a non-customer namespace. This is a common issue in SAP systems, especially when dealing with development and transport management.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Customer Package: The objects you are trying to relocate are in a standard SAP package (e.g., packages starting with 'SAP' or 'BC') rather than a customer package (which usually starts with 'Z' or 'Y').
  Transport Request Issues: The transport request may not be correctly configured to include the objects you are trying to move.
  Development System Restrictions: The system may have restrictions on moving certain objects, especially if they are part of the standard SAP delivery.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Package Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the objects you are trying to relocate are assigned to a customer package (Z or Y). You can check this in the object properties or by using transaction SE80 (Object Navigator).
  If the objects are in a standard package, you may need to create a copy of the object in a customer package.
  
  
  
  Create a Customer Package:
  
  If necessary, create a new customer package using transaction SE80 or SE21. Assign the objects to this package and then try to relocate them again.
  
  
  
  Use Transport Organizer:
  
  Use transaction SE09 or SE10 to manage your transport requests. Ensure that the objects are included in the correct transport request and that the request is released properly.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Layer:
  
  Ensure that the transport layer is correctly set up for the development, quality assurance, and production systems. This can be checked in transaction SE03.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to transport management and object relocation for any specific guidelines or restrictions.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Namespaces: In SAP, customer objects are typically created in a customer namespace (Z or Y) to avoid conflicts with standard SAP objects.
  Transport Management System (TMS): Understanding how TMS works can help in managing transports effectively.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to transport and relocation of objects.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis team or refer to SAP support for further assistance.
