How to fix this error?

Check whether the object is a deleted object and whether the deletion

piece list.

object still exists or the deletion needs to be transported again,
perform the following steps:
Display the extended view in Transport Organizer and choose <LS>Single
Display</>.
Enter request/task &V4& and choose <LS>Continue</>.
Position the cursor on the request/task &V4& and choose <LS>Edit ->
Expand</>.
Position the cursor on object &V1& &V2& &V3& and choose <LS>Object ->
Object Directory Entry</>.
Enter an appropriate package and save.
RESET N1
If you are in the display of request/task &V4& and want to check whether
the object list contains any other objects without directory entry,
position the cursor on request/task &V4& and choose <LS>Request/Task</>
-> <LS>Object List</> -> <LS>Lock Objects</>. A list of the objects with
errors is displayed.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TK313 - Object &1 &2 &3 requires a directory entry ?

  The SAP error message TK313 indicates that a specific object (identified by the parameters &1, &2, and &3) requires a directory entry, which means that the system is unable to find the necessary directory information for the specified object. This can occur in various contexts, such as when dealing with transport requests, customizing objects, or other repository objects.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Directory Entry: The object you are trying to access or manipulate does not have a corresponding entry in the directory table. This can happen if the object was not properly created or if it was deleted without proper cleanup.
  Transport Issues: If the object is part of a transport request, it may not have been included correctly, or the transport directory may not be properly set up.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or manipulate the object, leading to this error.
  System Configuration: There may be issues with the system configuration or inconsistencies in the database.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Existence: Verify that the object exists in the system. You can do this by checking the relevant transaction or using SE11 (Data Dictionary) to look for the object.
  Create Directory Entry: If the object is missing a directory entry, you may need to create it manually or re-create the object to ensure it is properly registered in the system.
  Transport Request: If the object is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport request is correctly configured and that the object is included. You may need to release and import the transport request again.
