  Update Planning Objects: If the resource was deleted intentionally, ensure that all planning objects (like production orders, planned orders, etc.) are updated to reference existing resources.
  Check Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the resource. This can be checked in the user roles and profiles.
