• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TR117 - Entry overlaps with logical object & ?

  The SAP error message TR117 ("Entry overlaps with logical object &") typically occurs in the context of transport requests and is related to the transport management system (TMS) in SAP. This error indicates that there is a conflict with the transport request entries, specifically that the entries you are trying to transport overlap with existing entries in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Overlapping Objects: The error usually arises when you attempt to include objects in a transport request that are already included in another transport request. This can happen if multiple developers are working on the same objects or if there are multiple transport requests for the same changes.
  Incorrect Transport Request: Sometimes, the transport request may not be correctly configured, or there may be a mistake in the object assignment.
  Transport Layer Issues: There may be issues with the transport layer configuration that lead to conflicts in object assignments.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Transport Requests: Review the transport requests involved. Identify if the objects you are trying to include in your current transport request are already part of another request. You can do this by checking the transport logs or using transaction codes like SE01 or SE09.
  Remove Overlapping Objects: If you find that the objects are already included in another transport request, you can either:
  
  Remove the overlapping objects from your current transport request.
  Wait for the other transport request to be released before including the objects in your request.
  
  
  Use Transport Organizer: Use the Transport Organizer (transaction SE09 or SE10) to manage your transport requests effectively. This tool can help you see which objects are assigned to which requests.
  Consult with Team Members: If you are working in a team, communicate with your colleagues to ensure that no one else is working on the same objects simultaneously.
  Check for Locks: Sometimes, objects may be locked due to ongoing changes. Ensure that there are no locks on the objects you are trying to transport.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SE01 (Transport Organizer), SE09 (Workbench Requests), and SE10 (Customizing Requests) to manage transport requests effectively.
  Transport Management System (TMS): Understanding how TMS works in SAP can help you avoid conflicts and manage transports more efficiently.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or solutions for specific scenarios related to this error.
