  The SAP error message /SCMB/ORG_UNIT054 indicates that an organizational unit (org unit) in the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module is not defined with the required role. Specifically, the error states that the organizational unit must be defined with role 1, which corresponds to the "Organization" role.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  An organizational unit is being used in a process or transaction that requires it to be defined as an organization but is not set up correctly in the system.
  The organizational unit may exist in the system, but it lacks the necessary role assignment that allows it to function as an organization.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the organizational unit is correctly defined with the required role. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Organizational Unit Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SPRO to access the SAP Reference IMG (Implementation Guide).
  Navigate to the relevant section for defining organizational units in SCM. This is usually found under:

  Verify if it is defined and check its role assignments.
  
  
  
  Assign the Correct Role:
  
  If the organizational unit is not assigned the role of "Organization" (role 1), you will need to edit its settings.
  Assign the role 1 to the organizational unit. This may involve selecting the unit and modifying its attributes to include the necessary role.
