Scenario: change the status of a transport request from RELEASED to MODIFIABLE
Overview
Let us consider that you have made any change in your SAP system and captured that change in a transport request. Now you have released the transport request. But, soon you realize that you wanted this transport request to be in the modifiable state so that you can make further changes into it, as because once a transport request is released you will not be able to do anything on it anymore.
How can you make a “released” transport request “modifiable”?
The Process
You have a transport which is RELEASED as shown below.
Now, in SE16 go to E070 table and enter the transport number.
In the next screen, you will see the details of the transport request. Tick that request and in the transaction enter area type /h and hit enter.
This will turn on the ABAP debugger. You can check the message displayed in the bottom of the screen.
Now double Click on the TR on the same screen and you will be redirected to the debugger.
Once you are in the debugger, hit F7 key twice to come to a screen as shown below:
Double click on the if code =’SHOW’ line and you will see the value of the field names getting displayed below. Previously this field was empty.
Click on the change button and change the value of SHOW to EDIT. Press the Change button again and hit the key F7.

Now, let’s come back to the discussion. After pressing F7 twice, you will now see the details of the transport request in change mode.
Go ahead and change the value of TRSTATUS from R to D. D stands for modifiable.
Then SAVE.
The transport request will be changed back to modifiable status.
