This error indicates that the system is trying to reference a group (such as a storage type, storage bin, or other organizational unit) that has not been defined or does not exist in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The group that is being referenced in the transaction or process has not been created or configured in the system.
  Incorrect Input: The user may have entered an incorrect group name or code, leading to the system not being able to find it.
