This error is often encountered when working with InfoObjects in the Data Warehousing Workbench or when trying to modify or transport InfoObjects.
  Cause:
  
  InfoObject Not Checked Out: The primary cause of this error is that the InfoObject you are trying to edit or work with is not checked out. In SAP BW, InfoObjects must be checked out to make changes.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to check out the InfoObject.
