  Causes:
  
  Inconsistent Transport Routes: The transport routes between the systems (Development, Quality, Production) may not be correctly defined or may be missing.
  Transport Layer Issues: The transport layers may not be properly assigned or configured for the different systems.
  Missing or Incorrect Configuration: There may be missing entries in the transport directory or incorrect settings in the transport management system (TMS).
