The SAP error message EA661 ("A package must be specified") typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify an object in the SAP system, and the system requires you to specify a package for that object, but none has been provided. This is common in various development activities, such as creating programs, function modules, or other repository objects.
Cause:
- No Package Specified: The most common cause is that the user did not specify a package when trying to create or modify an object.
- Transport Request Issues: If you are working in a transport request, it may not be properly assigned to a package.
- Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to create objects in a specific package.
Solution:
Specify a Package: When creating or modifying an object, ensure that you specify a package. You can do this by:
- Selecting an existing package from the list.
- Creating a new package if necessary (if you have the required authorizations).
- If you want to create the object in the local object (which is not transportable), you can specify the package as
$TMP
.Check Transport Request: If you are working within a transport request, ensure that the request is correctly assigned to a package. You can check this in the transport organizer.
Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify objects in the specified package. You may need to contact your SAP administrator if you suspect authorization issues.
Use the Correct Development Environment: Make sure you are in the correct development environment (e.g., Development system) where you have the rights to create or modify objects.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
