    What causes this issue?

    When the system locks objects, it ensures that program objects belong
    only to a transport request that can be changed. The object in question
    is locked by another request that can be changed (in other words, a
    request that has not been released).
    A lock also exists if the object is assigned to a transport layer that
    is different from the request used.

    System Response

    The object cannot be included in the request specified.

    How to fix this error?

    The object can be exported once the request locking it has been
    released. If this does not happen, the object must be deleted from the
    request locking it, and the transport function restarted.
    If there are no requests locking the object, check the transport
    property of the object in question. This property is stored in the
    assigned package (development class). You can use the object catalog
    entry to check this information. The transport request and the package
    must have the same transport layer.
