• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TR587 - To transport table contents, key must be filled ?

  The SAP error message TR587 ("To transport table contents, key must be filled") typically occurs when you are trying to transport table contents (data) using the transport management system (TMS) in SAP, but the key fields of the table are not properly filled or defined. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when you are trying to transport data from one system to another (e.g., from development to quality assurance or production).
  Cause:
  
  Missing Key Fields: The key fields of the table must be filled in order to uniquely identify the records that you want to transport. If any of the key fields are empty, the transport cannot proceed.
  Incorrect Configuration: The table may not be configured correctly in the transport settings, leading to issues when trying to transport data.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be data integrity issues where the records do not meet the requirements for transport.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Key Fields: Ensure that all key fields in the table are filled with valid data. You can do this by checking the entries in the table using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE16 (Data Browser).
  Review Transport Request: Make sure that the transport request you are using is correctly set up and includes all necessary objects and data.
  Data Entry: If you find any records with missing key fields, you will need to fill those fields with appropriate values before attempting to transport the data again.
  Use Transaction SE03: You can use transaction SE03 (Transport Organizer Tools) to analyze and manage transport requests, which may help identify issues with the transport.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific table you are working with to ensure you are following the correct procedures for transporting data.
