  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Project Definition:
  
  Go to the project definition in the SAP system (transaction code CJ20N or CJ01).
  Verify if a status profile is assigned to the project. If not, you need to assign a valid status profile.
  
  
  
  Assign a Status Profile:

  Maintain Status Profile in Customizing:

  Use transaction code SPRO.
  Navigate to Project System > Structures > Project > Define Status Profiles.
  Here, you can create a new status profile or modify an existing one to ensure it meets your project requirements.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Project Type Settings:
  
  Ensure that the project type you are using has a default status profile assigned. This can also be checked in the customizing settings under Project System > Structures > Project > Define Project Types.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about which status profile to use, consult your organization's documentation or reach out to your SAP administrator for guidance.
