This error indicates that the system is unable to find a related or "sibling" entity that is expected to exist in the configuration.
  Cause:

  Incorrect Hierarchy: The hierarchy of the technical objects may not be correctly defined, leading to the system being unable to locate the sibling entity.
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the master data or configuration data that prevent the system from recognizing the relationship between entities.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the sibling entity.
