    Meaning / 
    Cause: This error occurs during the extraction of material document data for BW (Business Warehouse) reporting or during logistics data extraction processes. The system is trying to find a superordinate (parent) item for a given material document item but cannot locate it. Material documents in SAP often have hierarchical relationships, especially in scenarios like production orders, reservations, or goods movements where items can be linked as parent and child. The extraction process expects a parent item to exist for the given material document item, but it is missing or not found in the database. This can happen due to incomplete or inconsistent data in the material document tables (e.g., MKPF, MSEG), or due to custom extraction logic expecting a parent item that does not exist.
