  The SAP error message GR489, which states "Report group & has been deleted," typically occurs when a report group that is being referenced in a report or transaction has been removed from the system. This can happen for various reasons, such as changes in configuration, deletion of report groups by users with the necessary permissions, or system upgrades that may have affected report group definitions.
  Cause:
  
  Deletion of Report Group: The report group you are trying to access has been deleted from the system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the report group.
  Transport Issues: If the report group was part of a transport request that was not successfully imported, it may not exist in the target system.
