Changing a Released SAP Transport Request
2013-02-06 ABAP Transport System
We’ve all been in this situation: we’ve released a task or transport request, only to notice seconds later that there was still an object missing in it. In the standard SAP ERP® transport system, we’d be out of luck: once released, transport requests or tasks can’t be set to modifiable again.

This bundle contains Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite and Mission USB Power Cable. The USB power cable eliminates the need to find an AC outlet near your TV by powering Amazon Fire TV directly from your TV's USB port. Includes special power management circuitry that enhances the peak power capability of the USB port by storing excess energy and then releasing it as needed.

However, of course, there is a workaround. It comes down to editing the table E070, which is where the transport request headers are stored. To make a request modifiable again, change the field TRSTATUS from R (Released) to D (Modifiable). You can now edit it again in transaction SE10 or wherever you like.

Be warned: When modifying SAP ERP® system tables, act with caution! You should always know what you’re doing, otherwise you might cause inconsistencies and corrupted data. Also, never attempt this with a transport request that has already been moved to the subsequent system.
