• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TR187 - Table & is in a non-transportable package ?

  The SAP error message TR187 indicates that a specific table is part of a non-transportable package. This typically occurs when you attempt to transport objects (like tables, programs, or other development objects) that are included in a package that is not configured to allow transport across systems (e.g., from development to quality assurance or production).
  Cause:
  
  Non-Transportable Package: The package containing the table is marked as non-transportable. This is often the case for standard SAP packages or certain custom packages that are not intended to be transported.
  Development Environment: The object you are trying to transport is part of a development environment where the package settings restrict transport.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Package Settings:
  
  Go to the package in the SAP system (transaction SE80 or SE21).
  Check the attributes of the package. If it is marked as non-transportable, you will need to either change the package settings (if you have the necessary authorizations) or move the object to a transportable package.
  
  
  
  Move to a Transportable Package:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can create a new transportable package or use an existing one.
  Move the table or object to this new package. You can do this by changing the package assignment in the object’s properties.
  
  
  
  Consult with Basis Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change package settings, consult with your SAP Basis team or system administrator. They can assist in either changing the package settings or moving the object to a transportable package.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Strategy:
  
  Ensure that your transport strategy aligns with your development and deployment processes. This may involve reviewing how packages are structured and whether certain objects should be made transportable.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transport Management System (TMS): Understanding how TMS works in SAP can help you manage transports effectively.
  Package Types: Familiarize yourself with the different types of packages in SAP (e.g., local, transportable, non-transportable) and their implications for development and transport.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or updates related to this error message.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the TR187 error and successfully transport your objects.
