  Cause:
  
  Missing Transition Definition: The primary cause of this error is that the workflow configuration does not have a defined transition for the specified status change. This can happen if the workflow was not properly configured or if changes were made to the workflow without updating the transition definitions.
  Incorrect Status Configuration: The statuses involved in the transition may not be correctly configured in the workflow or may not exist in the system.

  Review Status Management:
