This error is often encountered in the context of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) or related modules where certain master data or transactional data may no longer exist.
  Cause:
  
  Data Deletion: The most common cause is that the object (e.g., a material, vendor, customer, or document) has been deleted from the database. This could be due to a manual deletion by a user or a batch job that cleans up old or obsolete data.

  Check Deletion Logs: If you have access, check the deletion logs or audit trails to see when and why the object was deleted.
  Restore Data: If the object was deleted by mistake, you may need to restore it from a backup or recreate it if possible.
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks or reports to identify any other potential issues in the database that may have led to this error.
