An incompletion procedure is a set of rules that helps identify and manage incomplete configurations.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You are trying to edit a configuration profile that does not have an incompletion procedure assigned.
  The configuration profile is set up in such a way that it requires an incompletion procedure to ensure that all necessary data is filled in before the configuration can be considered complete.

  Create or Modify Incompletion Procedure:
  
  If you need to create a new incompletion procedure, you can do this using transaction code CU22.
  Define the rules and conditions for the incompletion procedure, specifying which fields must be completed for the configuration to be valid.
