& version in database (&) > version in file (&)

What causes this issue?

The object to be imported has an older version than the object that
already exists in the database. This problem can occur only when the
import of individual transport requests has been carried out earlier.
The problem cannot occur when the import sequence is determined by the
transport control.

System Response

The object has been imported anyway.

How to fix this error?

Check whether the object in the target system has the version that you
need. If not, you have to transport the object once more.
