  The SAP error message PFM_PS041 ("Save before definition of interval of temporary statement of suspension") typically occurs in the context of the Project System (PS) module when you are trying to define a temporary statement of suspension for a project or a network without saving the changes made to the project or network first.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered because the system requires that any changes made to the project or network must be saved before you can define or modify the intervals for temporary statements of suspension. This is a safeguard to ensure that all changes are committed to the database before further modifications are made.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Save Your Changes: Before attempting to define the interval for the temporary statement of suspension, ensure that you have saved any changes you made to the project or network. You can do this by clicking the "Save" button (usually represented by a disk icon) in the SAP GUI.
  
  
  Re-attempt the Action: After saving, try to define the interval for the temporary statement of suspension again. The error should no longer appear if the previous changes were successfully saved.
  
  
  Check for Other Errors: If you continue to encounter issues, check for any other error messages or warnings that may indicate additional problems with the project or network setup.
  
  
  Related Information:

  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help files related to project management and temporary statements of suspension for more detailed guidance.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to the project or network, as insufficient permissions can also lead to errors.
