  The SAP error message TN449, which states "Execute check steps before scheduling the import job," typically occurs in the context of transport management within SAP systems. This error indicates that certain prerequisite checks must be completed before you can schedule an import job for a transport request.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one or more of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Pre-Checks: The system requires that certain checks (like consistency checks, dependency checks, etc.) are performed before the transport can be imported.
  Transport Request Status: The transport request may not be in a state that allows it to be imported (e.g., it might be in a "modification" state).
  Transport Directory Issues: There may be issues with the transport directory or the transport files themselves.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the checks or schedule the import.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the TN449 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Execute Pre-Checks:

  Check Transport Request Status:
  
  Ensure that the transport request is in the correct status for import. It should be released and not in a "modification" state.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Directory:
  
  Check the transport directory for any inconsistencies or missing files. Ensure that the transport files are available and correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:

  Consult Logs:
  
  Review the transport logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context on what checks are failing.
  
  
  
  Retry the Import:
