This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) workflows when the system is unable to find a required organizational unit, such as a purchasing organization, company code, or other relevant organizational structure.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Organizational Object: The specified organizational object (e.g., a purchasing organization or company code) has not been created or has been deleted in the system.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existence of the Object:
  
  Use transaction codes like OMW0 (for purchasing organizations) or OX02 (for company codes) to verify if the organizational object exists in the system.
