  The SAP error message SROLECMP006 indicates that a role you are trying to work with does not have a reference role assigned to it. This can occur during role maintenance or when trying to assign a role to a user.

  Transport Issues:
  
  If the role was transported, ensure that the reference role exists in the target system. If it does not, you may need to transport it as well.
