  Task List Not Created: The required task list may not have been created or may have been deleted.
  Incorrect Maintenance Item Type: The type of maintenance item you are working with may not be compatible with the task list you are trying to use.

  Check Task List Assignment:
  
  Go to the maintenance item or order in question and check if a task list is assigned. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., IP02 for maintenance items) and reviewing the details.
