  Cause:
  This error indicates that there is a requirement (in this case, identified by &1, which is a placeholder for the specific requirement number) that has been marked as deleted or is no longer valid. When attempting to convert a purchase requisition or a similar document into a purchase order, the system cannot process this deleted requirement, leading to the error.
  Solution:

  Check the Requirement Status:
  
  Go to the transaction where the requirement is maintained (e.g., ME53N for purchase requisitions).
  Verify the status of the requirement. If it is marked as deleted, you will need to either restore it or create a new requirement.
  
  
  
  Review the Purchase Requisition:
  
  If the requirement is part of a purchase requisition, check if the requisition itself is still valid and not marked for deletion.
  If necessary, create a new purchase requisition that includes the required items.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Document Flow:
  
  Ensure that the document flow is correct and that there are no inconsistencies in the related documents (e.g., previous purchase orders, contracts, etc.).
  
  
  
  Consult with Your SAP Support Team:
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who can provide deeper insights into the specific configuration and data in your SAP system.
  
  
  
  Check for Customizations:
  
  If your organization has custom developments or enhancements in the MM module, check if any of these could be affecting the conversion process.
