This error indicates that there is an issue with the generation or modification of these objects, often due to a lack of authorization or a problem with the transport system.

  Check Development Class: Verify that the development class is correctly assigned and that it allows for changes. You can check this in transaction SE80 or SE11.
  System Logs: Review system logs (transaction SM21) for any related errors or warnings that might provide additional context for the issue.
