  The SAP error message AD106 indicates that a particular version of an object (like a program, function module, or other repository object) was saved but not locked. This typically occurs in the context of transport requests and version management in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Version Management: The object was saved in a version that is not locked. This can happen if the object is being edited in a development environment and the developer did not lock the object before saving it.

  Lock the Object: Manually lock the object by navigating to the object in the SAP GUI and using the lock function. This can usually be done by selecting the object and choosing the lock option from the menu.
  Check Transport Request: Ensure that the object is assigned to the correct transport request. If not, you may need to reassign it or create a new transport request.
  User Permissions: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to lock the object. If not, contact your SAP security administrator to adjust the permissions.
