  The SAP error message TN261 typically occurs during the import of transport requests in the SAP system. This error indicates that there is a mismatch or inconsistency in the software component vector (SWCV) of the transport request being imported. The software component vector is a representation of the software components and their versions that are included in a transport request.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch in Software Component Versions: The transport request may contain objects that belong to software components that are not installed or are of different versions in the target system.
  Missing Software Components: The target system may not have all the required software components that the transport request depends on.
