What causes this issue?

When saving the selected target group(s) to the database, one or more
error(s) occurred.

System Response

The system saves each target group individually by calling up a
function module. Providing the function module does not report an
error, a COMMIT WORK writes the changes to the tables.
All those target groups that were saved using the function module are
now stored in the database tables, meaning that you only need to repeat
the save function for the target groups with errors.
