This can happen for various reasons, such as changes in planning requirements, system maintenance, or user actions.
  Cause:
  
  Deletion of Planning Book: The planning book referenced in the error message has been deleted from the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue where the system is still trying to access a planning book that no longer exists.
  Transport Issues: If the planning book was deleted in one environment (e.g., development) but not transported correctly to another (e.g., production), it may lead to this error.

  Check Planning Book Existence: Verify if the planning book still exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the planning book maintenance transaction (e.g., /SAPAPO/MSDP_PB).
  Recreate the Planning Book: If the planning book is indeed deleted and is still required, you may need to recreate it. This can be done using the planning book creation transaction.
  Adjust Configuration: If the planning book is no longer needed, ensure that any configurations or settings that reference this planning book are updated or removed.
  Transport Management: If the issue is related to transport, ensure that the planning book is correctly transported across environments. Check the transport logs for any errors.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the planning book. Sometimes, the error may arise due to authorization issues rather than the actual deletion of the planning book.
  
  Related Information:
