• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TK806 - The chosen object is not a repository object ?

  The SAP error message TK806, which states "The chosen object is not a repository object," typically occurs in the context of SAP's transport management system or when working with repository objects in the ABAP Workbench. This error indicates that the object you are trying to work with (such as a program, function module, or class) is not recognized as a valid repository object by the system.
  Causes:
