    How to fix this error?

    You can make the correction in the package maintenance. Enter the
    current package in the Object Navigator (transaction SE80) and switch
    to change mode. You must then choose whether the package is to be
    delivered or not.
    If you want to deliver the package, then you must use input help to
    assign a suitable software component that is defined in the system.
    If you do not want to deliver the package, then you must also use input
    help to assign the respective software component, that is 'HOME' or
    'LOCAL'.

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    Note:
    If the correct software component is already assigned but is not
    defined in the current system, contact system administration. They will
    then check whether this software component can be recognized in the
    current system.
