This error typically occurs when you are trying to perform an operation that requires a network (such as scheduling or planning) on a WBS element that does not have an associated network.
  Cause:
  
  No Network Assigned: The primary cause of this error is that the WBS element does not have a network assigned to it. In SAP, networks are used to plan and control the execution of projects, and they are linked to WBS elements.
