  Cause
  This error occurs when you are trying to create or change a task list in SAP (typically in Plant Maintenance or Production Planning modules), and the system requires you to specify a group for the task list but it has not been entered.
  
  The group is a mandatory field that categorizes the task list.
  The system uses the group to classify and manage task lists effectively.
  If the group field is left blank or invalid, the system throws this error.

  Go to the task list creation/change screen.
  Locate the Group field (often labeled as "Group" or "Task List Group").
  Enter the appropriate group code.
  
  
  
  Check customizing settings if you are unsure which group to enter:
  
  Use transaction SPRO ? Logistics ? Production ? Master Data ? Task Lists ? Define Task List Groups.
  Verify which groups are defined and which are valid for your plant or task list type.
  
  
  
  If the group field is not visible or editable:
  
  Check user authorizations.
  Check screen variants or field selection settings that might hide or disable the group field.
  
  
  
  If you do not know which group to use:
  
  Consult with your SAP functional consultant or maintenance planner.
  Review existing task lists to see which groups are commonly used.
