This error can occur in various contexts, such as when working with custom developments, transport requests, or when trying to access or modify certain objects in the system.
  Cause:
  The error message COM_DML_CUST004 generally arises due to one of the following reasons:

  Authorization Problems: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or modify the object in question.
  
  
  Transport Request Issues: If the object is part of a transport request, there may be issues with the transport itself, such as it not being released or imported correctly.
  
  
  Object Deletion or Inconsistency: The object may have been deleted or is in an inconsistent state, leading to the error when trying to access it.
