  The SAP error message 3G721 indicates that the function group specified in the error message does not exist in the SAP system. This can occur for various reasons, such as a missing or incorrectly named function group, or issues with the transport of objects between systems.
  Causes:
  
  Non-existent Function Group: The function group you are trying to access has not been created or has been deleted.
  Transport Issues: The function group may exist in the development environment but has not been transported to the quality or production environment.
  Incorrect Naming: There may be a typo or incorrect naming in the code or configuration that references the function group.

  Check Function Group Existence:
