This error can occur during various activities, such as when trying to create or modify roles in the Profile Generator (PFCG).
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Package Assignment: The role you are trying to work with has an invalid or missing package assignment. Each role in SAP is associated with a package, and if this association is incorrect or not defined, the system will throw this error.
  Transport Issues: If the role was transported from another system and the package assignment was not correctly set up in the target system, this error may occur.
  Development vs. Production Environment: If you are working in a production environment, certain roles may not have the necessary package assignments that are typically found in a development environment.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Package Assignment:
  
  Go to transaction code PFCG.
  Enter the role name that is causing the error.

  Transport Request:
