  Review Organizational Structure: Check the organizational unit hierarchy in the SAP TMS configuration. Ensure that the unit with role 3 does not have any child units. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration settings in the SAP GUI.
  Remove Child Units: If you find that the group organizational unit has child units, you will need to either delete these child units or reassign them to a different parent organizational unit that is allowed to have children.
  Adjust Role Assignment: If the organizational unit needs to have children, consider changing its role from group (role 3) to a different role that allows for child units.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for TMS to understand the rules and restrictions regarding organizational unit roles and hierarchies.
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
