  The SAP error message DPR_UI_BSP140 ("Outdenting not possible due to element position") typically occurs in the context of SAP Project Management, particularly when working with project structures in the Project System (PS) or Project Management (DPR) modules. This error indicates that the system is unable to outdent (or move to a higher level) a specific element in the project hierarchy due to its current position or status.
