This error indicates that the system is unable to find a specific PM object that is expected to be present in the database.
  Cause:
  
  Missing PM Object: The specified PM object (e.g., equipment, functional location) does not exist in the system. This could be due to data not being created or deleted inadvertently.

  Verify PM Object Existence:
  
  Check if the PM object (identified by &1) exists in the system. You can do this by using transaction codes like IE03 (for equipment) or IL03 (for functional locations).
