This error can arise in various modules, particularly in Human Capital Management (HCM) or Payroll.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The country grouping for the specific country has not been defined in the system. This can happen if the country is newly added or if the configuration was not completed during the implementation.
  Incorrect Country Code: The country code used in the employee's master data or payroll data may be incorrect or not recognized by the system.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from another system (e.g., from a development to a production environment), it may not have been transported correctly.
  Client-Specific Settings: The settings may be client-specific, and the necessary configuration might not be available in the current client.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define Country Grouping:

  If necessary, re-transport the configuration or manually define it in the target system.
  
  
  
  Client Settings:
