Specifically, the error states that the organizational unit you are trying to assign (denoted by &1) can only be assigned to an organizational unit that has the role of 'Company'.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Incorrect Organizational Unit Role: The organizational unit you are trying to assign does not have the required role of 'Company'. In SAP, organizational units can have different roles, and certain assignments require specific roles to be valid.
  Hierarchy Issues: The organizational structure may not be set up correctly, leading to conflicts in the assignment of units.

  Review Hierarchy Structure:
  
  Ensure that the hierarchy of organizational units is correctly defined. The parent unit should have the appropriate role that allows for the assignment of child units.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
