  The SAP error message CRM_UIU_MKTSEG154 indicates that the target group you are trying to access or manipulate has already been deleted from the system. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) when working with marketing segments or target groups.
  Cause:
  
  Deletion of Target Group: The most straightforward cause is that the target group you are trying to use has been deleted by another user or through a batch job.
