  Check the GUID: Ensure that the GUID you are using is correct. You can retrieve the correct GUID from the target group management screen or by using relevant transaction codes.
  User Authorization: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the target group. You may need to consult with your SAP security team.
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks or reports to identify any data issues in the CRM system. This may involve checking for orphaned records or inconsistencies in the database.
  Recreate the Target Group: If the target group does not exist and is needed, you may need to recreate it.
