• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TR120 - Object & is contained as a subobject in object & & ?

  The SAP error message TR120 indicates that there is an issue with transport objects in the Transport Management System (TMS). Specifically, it means that the object you are trying to transport is already contained as a subobject in another transport object. This can happen when you attempt to include an object in a transport request that is already part of another request.
  Cause:
  
  Object Already Included: The object you are trying to transport is already included in another transport request.
  Dependencies: The object may have dependencies on other objects that are already part of a different transport request.
  Incorrect Transport Request: You may be trying to add an object to a transport request that is not appropriate for that object.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Transport Requests: Review the transport requests to see if the object is already included in another request. You can do this using transaction code SE01 (Transport Organizer) or SE09 (Workbench Organizer).
  Remove from Other Request: If the object is included in another transport request and you need it in the current one, you may need to remove it from the other request first.
  Use the Correct Request: Ensure that you are using the correct transport request for the object. If the object is part of a specific development or change, it should be included in the corresponding transport request.
  Check Dependencies: If the object has dependencies, ensure that all related objects are included in the same transport request or are handled appropriately.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis team for specific guidelines on handling transport requests and dependencies.
