Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  
  No Objects in the Transport Request: The most common reason for this error is that the transport request you are trying to delete does not contain any objects. This can happen if the request was created but no changes were added to it.
  
  
  Incorrect Selection: You may be trying to delete objects from a transport request that is not currently selected or is not in the correct status.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete objects from the transport request.
  
  
  System Status: The transport request might be in a status that does not allow for deletion, such as being released or already imported.
  
  
  Solution:
