This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) or similar modules where product structures and classifications are managed.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:

  Adjust Object Family or Set Type:

  Review Product Type Assignments:
  
  Check the product type assignments in the relevant master data. Ensure that the product types are correctly assigned to the respective object families and set types.
