  The SAP error message EDCMP125 ("Please enter a type group name") typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a data element or domain in the ABAP Dictionary (SE11) and you have not specified a type group name where it is required.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Type Group: The error usually arises when you are working with a data element or domain that requires a type group to be specified, but you have left that field blank.
  Incorrect Configuration: It may also occur if the system is expecting a type group due to the context of the operation you are performing, but the necessary configuration is not in place.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter a Type Group Name: 
  
  Go to the transaction where you encountered the error (e.g., SE11 for Data Dictionary).
  If you are creating or modifying a data element or domain, ensure that you fill in the "Type Group" field with a valid type group name.
