  The SAP error message /PLMB/OSET008 Object &1 has been deleted from object set &2 typically occurs in the context of SAP PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) when an object that is being referenced has been deleted from the specified object set. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when working with documents, materials, or other objects that are part of a structured set in PLM.
  Cause:
  
  Object Deletion: The primary cause of this error is that the object (e.g., a document, material, or other entity) identified by &1 has been deleted from the object set identified by &2. This could be due to user action or a system process that removed the object.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the database or application state, where references to objects that no longer exist are still being made.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the object, leading to the perception that it has been deleted.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Object Existence: Check if the object &1 still exists in the system. You can do this by searching for the object in the relevant transaction or using the appropriate report.
  Check Object Set: Ensure that the object set &2 is correctly defined and that it includes the necessary objects. If the object has been deleted intentionally, you may need to update the object set accordingly.
  Recreate or Restore Object: If the object was deleted by mistake, you may need to recreate it or restore it from a backup if available.
  Update References: If the object is no longer needed, ensure that any references to it in other objects or processes are updated or removed to prevent further errors.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to access the object and the object set. If not, appropriate authorizations should be granted.
