• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/PPM_TRANSFER200 - Object deleted as the superordinate plan is earmarked for deletion ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/PPM_TRANSFER200 indicates that an object (such as a plan or a project) has been deleted because its superordinate plan is earmarked for deletion. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when dealing with planning objects and their hierarchies.
  Cause:
  
  Superordinate Plan Deletion: The primary cause of this error is that the superordinate plan (the parent plan) has been marked for deletion. In SAP APO, if a plan is earmarked for deletion, all dependent objects (subordinate plans, projects, etc.) are also affected and may be deleted as a result.
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces data integrity by ensuring that if a parent object is deleted, all its child objects are also removed to prevent orphaned records.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Status of the Superordinate Plan: 
  
  Go to the relevant transaction in SAP APO (e.g., /SAPAPO/PPM or /SAPAPO/DP) and check the status of the superordinate plan. If it is marked for deletion, you may need to reverse this status if the plan is still needed.
  
  
  
  Restore the Superordinate Plan:
  
  If the superordinate plan was mistakenly marked for deletion, you can restore it by changing its status back to active. This may involve using specific transactions or settings in the system to unmark it for deletion.
  
  
  
  Review Dependencies:
  
  Analyze the dependencies of the plan and ensure that all related objects are correctly managed. If the superordinate plan is indeed intended for deletion, ensure that all subordinate plans are also appropriately handled.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific steps on how to manage plan statuses and dependencies in your version of SAP APO.
  
  
  
  Backup and Data Recovery:
  
  If necessary, consider restoring from a backup if the deletion was unintentional and critical data was lost.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in SAP APO, such as /SAPAPO/PPM for project and portfolio management, and /SAPAPO/DP for demand planning.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional guidance or patches that may address known issues.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that users have the appropriate roles and permissions to manage plans and their statuses to prevent accidental deletions.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error message and manage your planning objects effectively in SAP APO.
