  The SAP error message FDT_CORE337 indicates that there is an issue with importing an object due to a problem in physically deleting it. This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Fiori Design Time (FDT) or when dealing with the transport of objects in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The error can occur due to several reasons, including:
  
  Object Locking: The object you are trying to import may be locked by another user or process, preventing its deletion.
  Transport Issues: There may be inconsistencies or issues with the transport request that contains the object.
  Database Constraints: There could be database constraints or dependencies that prevent the object from being deleted.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the object.
  Corrupted Object: The object itself may be corrupted or in an inconsistent state.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FDT_CORE337 error, you can try the following steps:
  
  
  Check Object Lock:
