  Transport Issues: If objects were transported from one system to another, there may be inconsistencies or missing dependencies.
  Incorrect Object Configuration: The object may have been incorrectly configured or set up, leading to invalid references.
  Versioning Issues: There may be versioning issues where the object exists in one version but not in another.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the RSO274 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Object Existence:
  
  Verify that the object being referenced (the invalid object) actually exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., RSA1 for InfoObjects, RSRT for Queries) and checking if the object is present.
  
  
  
  Activate Objects:
  
  If the object exists but is inactive, activate it. In the case of InfoObjects, you can do this in the InfoObject maintenance screen.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Requests:
