• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TR172 - Only enter the values TABU or VDAT in the field "Object" ?

  The SAP error message TR172 indicates that there is a restriction on the values that can be entered in the "Object" field of a transaction or function. Specifically, it states that only the values "TABU" (for table) or "VDAT" (for view) are allowed. This error typically occurs in the context of transport requests or when working with certain objects in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when a user attempts to enter a value in the "Object" field that is not "TABU" or "VDAT". This restriction is in place to ensure that only valid object types are processed in the context of the transaction or function being executed.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check Input Values: Ensure that you are entering either "TABU" or "VDAT" in the "Object" field. If you are trying to enter a different value, you will need to correct it to one of the allowed values.
  
  
  Review Documentation: If you are unsure about what values are acceptable or the context in which you are working, refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction or function.
  
  
  Consult with Colleagues or SAP Support: If you believe you are entering the correct values and still encountering the error, consult with colleagues or reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
