  The SAP error message /PLMI/PPEENG105 Deletion of &1 &2 to &3 &4 not allowed typically occurs in the context of the SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) module, particularly when dealing with engineering change management or similar processes. This error indicates that there is an attempt to delete an object (like a document, change request, or similar entity) that is not allowed due to certain constraints or dependencies.
  Cause:
  
  
  Dependencies: The object you are trying to delete may have dependencies or relationships with other objects that prevent its deletion. For example, if the object is linked to a change order or is part of a bill of materials (BOM), it cannot be deleted until those links are resolved.
  
  
  Status Restrictions: The object may be in a status that does not allow deletion. For instance, if the object is in a released state, it may be protected from deletion until it is reverted to a draft or similar status.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the object, leading to this error.
  
  
  Configuration Settings: There may be specific configuration settings in the system that restrict the deletion of certain types of objects.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Review the object to see if it has any dependencies or relationships with other objects. If it does, you may need to remove those dependencies before attempting to delete the object.
  
  
  Change Status: If the object is in a status that does not allow deletion, consider changing its status to a permissible one (like "Draft") before attempting to delete it.
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user attempting the deletion has the necessary authorizations. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify and adjust user roles if necessary.
  
  
  Consult Configuration: If the issue persists, check with your SAP configuration team to see if there are any specific settings that prevent deletion of the object type in question.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (like CC01, CC02, etc.) to manage change requests or objects properly, ensuring that you follow the correct procedures for deletion.
