  SAP Error Message:
  
  WXP359: Select at least one distribution key for the transport
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you are trying to create or release a transport request (workbench or customizing request) in SAP, but no distribution key has been selected for the transport. The distribution key determines how the transport request is distributed or moved across the SAP system landscape (e.g., from development to quality to production).
  In other words, the system expects you to specify at least one distribution key to define the target system(s) or transport routes for the request, but none has been selected.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Distribution keys are used in the Transport Management System (TMS) to control the flow of transport requests.
  When creating or releasing a transport request, the system checks if the request is assigned to a transport layer and if the transport layer has associated distribution keys.
  If no distribution key is selected or available, the system cannot determine where to send the transport request, hence the error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Transport Layer and Distribution Keys:
  
  Go to transaction STMS (Transport Management System).
  Navigate to Transport Routes.
  Verify that the transport layer assigned to your transport request has at least one distribution key defined.
  If no distribution key exists, create one or assign an existing distribution key to the transport layer.
  
  
  
  Assign Distribution Key to Transport Request:
  
  When creating or releasing the transport request, ensure you select the appropriate distribution key.
  Sometimes, the system automatically selects the distribution key based on the transport layer, but if it doesn't, you need to select it manually.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Request Attributes:
  
  Use transaction SE09 or SE10 to display the transport request.
  Check if the transport layer is correctly assigned.
  If the transport layer is missing or incorrect, adjust it accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check TMS Configuration:
  
  If you are not the system administrator, inform your Basis team to check the TMS configuration.
  The TMS configuration might be incomplete or incorrect, causing the system to not find any distribution keys.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Distribution keys are part of the transport routes configuration in TMS.
  Transport layers are assigned to packages or development objects and determine the transport path.
  Proper configuration of transport routes and layers is essential for smooth transport management.
  This error is common in systems where TMS is newly configured or transport routes have been changed.
