• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TN068 - & already has status 'New' ?

  The SAP error message TN068 typically indicates that there is an issue with the transport request in the Transport Management System (TMS). The specific message "already has status 'New'" suggests that the transport request you are trying to work with is in a state that does not allow the action you are attempting to perform.
  Cause:
  
  Transport Request Status: The transport request is in the 'New' status, which means it has not yet been released. Certain actions, such as importing or modifying the request, cannot be performed until the request is released.
  Incorrect Sequence of Actions: You may be trying to perform an action that is not allowed on a transport request that has not been released.
  User Permissions: There may be restrictions based on user roles or permissions that prevent you from performing actions on the transport request.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Release the Transport Request:
  
  Go to the Transport Organizer (transaction code SE09 or SE10).
  Find the transport request that is in the 'New' status.
  Right-click on the transport request and select "Release" to change its status to 'Released'.
  After releasing, you should be able to perform the desired actions (like importing).
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies: Ensure that all objects within the transport request are correctly defined and that there are no dependencies that need to be resolved before releasing.
  
  
  User Permissions: Verify that you have the necessary permissions to release and manage transport requests. If not, contact your SAP administrator to adjust your roles.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, refer to SAP documentation or support for more detailed troubleshooting steps related to transport requests.
