  The SAP error message CMS_COPY003: "Select a target Admin Org Unit!" typically occurs in the context of the SAP BusinessObjects Central Management Console (CMC) when you are trying to copy or move objects (like reports, folders, or other resources) from one organizational unit to another, but you have not specified a target organizational unit.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the absence of a selected target Admin Organization Unit (Org Unit) when attempting to perform a copy or move operation. The system requires you to specify where the object should be copied or moved to, and if this is not done, it triggers this error message.

  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Open the Central Management Console (CMC): Log in to your SAP BusinessObjects CMC.
  
  
  Navigate to the Source Object: Locate the object (report, folder, etc.) that you want to copy or move.
  
  
  Initiate the Copy/Move Operation: Right-click on the object and select the option to copy or move it.

  Check Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access both the source and target Org Units. Lack of permissions can also lead to issues when trying to perform operations.
  
  
  Related Information:
