This error indicates that the system is unable to find a function group that is required for the TPI interface to operate correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Function Group: The primary cause of this error is that the function group associated with the TPI interface is not defined or is missing in the system.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the TPI settings or the related function modules.
  Transport Layer Issues: If the TPI interface is part of a transport layer, there may be issues with the transport itself, such as missing objects or incorrect transport requests.

  Check for Custom Code: If there are custom developments, review the code to ensure that it correctly references the function group and that all necessary components are activated.
  Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors or missing objects. You may need to re-import the transport or manually add the missing components.
