Specifically, the error states that all required carriers must exist as business partners with the role "carrier."

  Missing Business Partner Configuration: The required carriers have not been set up as business partners in the system with the appropriate role.
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The business partners may exist, but they do not have the "carrier" role assigned to them.
  Data Upload Issues: If you are uploading data (e.g., via a file or interface), the data may reference carriers that are not properly configured in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Business Partner Configuration:
  
  Go to the Business Partner (BP) transaction in SAP (transaction code BP).
  Search for the business partners that are supposed to act as carriers.
  Ensure that these business partners are created and have the role "carrier" assigned.
  
  
  
  Assign the Carrier Role:
  
  If the business partners exist but do not have the "carrier" role, you need to edit their configuration.
  Open the business partner in the BP transaction, and add the role "carrier" (role category: FLCU00 for customers or FLVN00 for vendors, depending on your setup).
  
  
  
  Validate Data Upload:
  
  If you are performing a data upload, ensure that the data being uploaded references the correct business partners that are configured as carriers.
  Check the data file or interface for any discrepancies or errors in the carrier information.
