  The SAP error message TK020, which states "Transport object & & does not exist," typically occurs when there is an issue with the transport request or the object that is being referenced in the transport. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Missing Transport Object: The object you are trying to transport does not exist in the specified transport request. This can happen if the object was deleted or if it was never included in the transport request.
  Transport Request Issues: The transport request may be incomplete or not properly released. If the transport request is not released, the objects within it cannot be transported.

  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Transport Request:
  
  Go to transaction SE09 or SE10 to check the transport request. Ensure that the object is included in the request and that the request is released.
  If the object is not in the request, you may need to add it manually.
  
  
  
  Verify Object Existence:
  
  Use the appropriate transaction (like SE80, SE11, SE37, etc.) to check if the object actually exists in the development system.
  If the object was deleted, you may need to recreate it.
  
  
  
  Release Transport Request:

  Check Transport Directory:

  You can check the transport logs for any errors that might indicate a problem.
  
  
  
  Consult Transport Logs:
  
  Review the transport logs for any additional error messages that might provide more context about the issue.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Transport Request:
  
  If the transport request is corrupted or has issues, consider creating a new transport request and adding the necessary objects again.
