  The SAP error message /GC1/MSG031 System is unable to transport deletion for object &1 &2 typically occurs when there is an issue with transporting the deletion of certain objects in the SAP system. This error is often related to the transport management system (TMS) and can arise in various scenarios, such as when trying to delete a configuration or customizing object that is not properly set up for transport.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Transport Request: The object you are trying to delete may not be included in a transport request, or the transport request may not be released.
  Object Locking: The object might be locked by another user or process, preventing the deletion from being transported.
  Transport Directory Issues: There may be issues with the transport directory or the transport landscape configuration.
  Dependencies: The object you are trying to delete may have dependencies on other objects that are not being handled correctly.
  Incorrect Object Type: The object type may not be supported for deletion transport.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Transport Request: Ensure that the object is included in a transport request and that the request is released. You can check this in the Transport Organizer (transaction SE09 or SE10).
  Unlock Objects: If the object is locked, identify the user or process that has locked it and resolve the locking issue.
  Review Dependencies: Check for any dependencies related to the object you are trying to delete. Ensure that all dependent objects are also handled appropriately.
