3375951 - Standard Transport Behavior for AO Workbooks

Symptom

BW or S/4HANA system is asking for a transport request while saving an Analysis for Office (AO) workbook.

In Analysis Office, the following error is displayed:
------------------------------------------
Choose an existing request
BEx transport request '' is not available or not suitable
------------------------------------------

Environment

SAP Analysis for Microsoft Office

Reproducing the Issue

Try to save an AO workbook on a system with standard transport switched on.

Cause

If the standard transport system is switched on, the BEx transport requests are not used.

Resolution

Check the standard behavior on SAP Help. Basically, AO relies on $TMP (local) package and no change on this behavior can be influenced from AO side.
