  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/ORG_UNIT056 indicates that an organizational unit in the SAP Transportation Management (TM) system is not properly configured with the required role. Specifically, the error states that the organizational unit must be defined with role 3, which corresponds to the "Group" role.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  An organizational unit (like a transportation zone, location, or similar) is being used in a context where it is expected to have a specific role assigned to it.
  The organizational unit has not been assigned the necessary role (in this case, role 3 - Group) in the system configuration.
