Those purchases are tied to the other ID and can't be transferred. One option is to delete the apps/purchases made by the other ID and download them using the new ID if desired. If necessary, check your purchases history to see which apps/purchases weren’t made by the current ID. 


Purchase History Review.   


Or you can try to set up Family Sharing  between the IDs to keep access to your purchases.
