  Cause:
  
  Missing Status Schema: The status schema referenced in the error message is not defined in the BOPF configuration for the specified node category.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the BOPF settings, where the status schema is either incorrectly assigned or not assigned at all.

  Review Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport request to ensure that all necessary objects, including the status schema, were included.
  If not, you may need to re-transport the missing objects.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that any dependencies related to the status schema are also correctly configured. This includes checking for any related business rules or actions that may rely on the status schema.
