  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PPM_TRANSFER105 indicates that an object in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) system is pointing to a superordinate object that has been earmarked for deletion. This typically occurs in the context of planning and project management within the SAP APO environment.
  Cause:
  
  Object Deletion: The superordinate object (e.g., a project, plan, or another related object) has been marked for deletion, which means it is no longer valid or active in the system.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Object Status: Verify the status of the superordinate object. If it is indeed earmarked for deletion, you may need to either:
  
  Permanently delete the object if it is no longer needed.
  Restore the object if it was marked for deletion by mistake.
  
  
  
  Update References: If the superordinate object is to be deleted, ensure that all subordinate objects are updated to point to a valid parent object. This may involve reassigning or deleting the subordinate objects.
