• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TR680 - Can only be edited centrally by a system administrator ?

  The SAP error message TR680, which states "Can only be edited centrally by a system administrator," typically occurs in the context of transport requests and indicates that the transport request you are trying to edit or modify is locked or restricted from being changed by users other than a system administrator.
  Cause:
  
  Transport Request Locking: The transport request may be locked because it is currently being processed or has been set to a status that restricts editing.
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to edit the transport request may not have the necessary authorizations or roles assigned to perform the action.
  Centralized Transport Management: In systems configured for centralized transport management, certain actions may be restricted to system administrators to maintain control over the transport process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Transport Request Status: Verify the status of the transport request. If it is in a locked state, you may need to wait until the lock is released or contact the administrator.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the appropriate authorizations to edit the transport request. This may involve checking roles and permissions in the user profile.
  Contact System Administrator: If you are not a system administrator, you will need to reach out to one to either unlock the transport request or make the necessary changes on your behalf.
  Use Transaction SE09/SE10: You can use transaction codes SE09 or SE10 to view transport requests and their statuses. This can help you identify if the request is locked and who is responsible for it.
  Review Transport Management Configuration: If you are in a centralized transport management setup, review the configuration to understand the restrictions in place and whether they can be adjusted.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transport Management System (TMS): Understanding how TMS works in SAP can help you navigate transport requests more effectively.
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with relevant authorization objects (e.g., S_TRANSPRT) that govern transport request activities.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to transport requests and error TR680.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on transport requests and the roles of system administrators in managing them.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with SAP support or your internal SAP Basis team for further assistance.
