• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TR712 - Object can only be moved to a request with the same type ?

  The SAP error message TR712 ("Object can only be moved to a request with the same type") typically occurs when you are trying to transport an object (like a program, function module, or configuration) from one transport request to another, but the transport requests involved are of different types. For example, you might be trying to move an object from a customizing request to a workbench request, or vice versa.
  Cause:
  
  Different Transport Request Types: The most common cause of this error is that the object you are trying to move is in a customizing transport request (which is used for configuration changes) and you are trying to move it to a workbench transport request (which is used for development objects).
  Incorrect Transport Layer: The transport layer of the object may not match the transport layer of the target request.
  Object Type Mismatch: The object type you are trying to move may not be compatible with the type of the target request.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Transport Request Types: Ensure that both the source and target transport requests are of the same type. If you are moving a customizing object, make sure both requests are customizing requests. If you are moving a development object, ensure both are workbench requests.
  Create a New Transport Request: If necessary, create a new transport request of the appropriate type and move the object to that request instead.
  Use the Correct Transport Layer: Verify that the transport layer of the object matches the transport layer of the target request. If they do not match, you may need to adjust the transport layer settings.
  Check Object Properties: Review the properties of the object you are trying to move to ensure it is compatible with the target request.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transport Management System (TMS): Familiarize yourself with the TMS in SAP, as it governs how transport requests are managed and moved between systems.
  Transport Request Types: Understand the different types of transport requests in SAP:
  
  Workbench Requests: Used for development objects (ABAP programs, function modules, etc.).
  Customizing Requests: Used for configuration changes (settings in SPRO, etc.).
