• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TK870 - Select a valid object type (lockable objects only) ?

  The SAP error message TK870: Select a valid object type (lockable objects only) typically occurs when you are trying to perform an action that requires a lockable object type, but the object type you have selected is not valid for that operation. This error is often encountered in transaction codes related to transport management, such as when working with transport requests or managing objects in the Transport Organizer.
  Cause:
