What causes this issue?

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Firstly, please set the object type / object type component to status
'implemented'. From this status it is possible to set the status
'modeled'.
This is a precautionary measure, since when status 'modeled' is set,
the load version of the object type / object type component is deleted
and is therefore no longer accessible at runtime.
