  The SAP error message PQ515 "No development plan states have been created" typically occurs in the context of SAP's Project Management or Quality Management modules, particularly when dealing with development plans for products or projects. This error indicates that there are no defined states for the development plan, which are necessary for the system to process or manage the development plan effectively.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Development Plan States: The primary cause of this error is that the development plan states have not been defined in the system. Development plan states are essential for tracking the progress and status of development activities.
