  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  You are trying to transport objects that require a "Transport of Copies" request, but you are using a different type of transport request (e.g., a workbench request or customizing request).
  The system is configured to only allow certain types of requests for specific operations, and the request type you are using does not meet those requirements.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Request Type:
  
  Ensure that you are using a "Transport of Copies" request. You can create a new transport request of this type if necessary.
  
  
  
  Create a Transport of Copies Request:

  Create a new transport request and select "Transport of Copies" as the request type.
  
  
  
  Reassign Objects:
  
  If you have already assigned objects to a different type of request, you may need to reassign them to the new Transport of Copies request.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Settings:
  
  Check the transport settings in your system to ensure that the configuration allows for the use of Transport of Copies requests where needed.
