Error: Missing default owner
Issue
No default owner is set in organization settings.

Explanation
You're trying to run Recalculate to assign the available owner to a plot that isn't owned by an owner. But the available owner record hasn't been set up in the Organization table. (The available owner record is a record that you choose to assign to unowned plots.)
You can tell if the available owner record is missing because the available owner record number and description is included at the end of the checkbox. If "None" is showing, then you know the available owner record is missing.

Solution
Set up an available owner record. First, add the owner record that you will use as the available owner to the Setup New Owners. Second, set the available owner in Organization settings to the owner record that you just set up.
