Cause
Bug #PBA-57123
One or more of service plan resources do not have any service gate assigned
Resolution
If resource without gate is not used in any subscriptions and could be based on a DUMMYGATE instead, it is suggested to remove such resource from service plan, synchronize all subscriptions with option "Remove obsolete resource(s)" and "Install into Provisioning System" - "Not Install". Then delete resource without gate from PBA completely and create a new one instead - based on DUMMYGATE. Add this new resource back to service plan and synchronize subscriptions.
If resource without gate is used in some subscriptions, you can separately synchronize needed resources of subscription (Synchronizing Subscription Resources, Synchronizing Subscriptions Resources From Plan) or use "Resource Order" option during subscription synchronization (Synchronizing Subscription)
