This error indicates that a specific term or object (denoted by "&") was not copied as expected during a transport operation.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Transport Request: The object or term may not be included in the transport request.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the transport routes or the transport layer.
  Authorization Issues: The user performing the transport may not have the necessary authorizations to copy certain objects.

  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data or configuration that prevent the term from being copied.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Transport Request: Ensure that the object or term is included in the transport request. You can do this by reviewing the transport request in the Transport Organizer (SE09 or SE10).
