This error indicates that there is an issue with the assignment of a top cost center group (CG) to a hierarchy.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Top Cost Center Group: The error usually arises when a hierarchy is being used in a report or transaction, but the top cost center group has not been defined or assigned.

  Review Master Data:
