This error indicates that the system requires certain statuses to be defined in the configuration for WIP calculation, specifically the statuses "DLV" (Delivered) and "TECO" (Technically Completed).
  Cause:
  The error arises when the system attempts to perform WIP calculations, but the necessary customizing settings for the statuses DLV and TECO are not properly maintained in the system. This can happen due to:

  Check Project/Order Type Settings:
  
  Ensure that the project or order type you are working with is configured to allow WIP calculations. This may involve checking the settings in the order type configuration.
