Hi Santhosh;
First of all, you have to know that the function of Portfolio Status (Item or Decision Point) are "User Status" and in Project Status (Project definition and Phases) are "System Status", you can't configure Portfolio User Status to the Project User Status.
For Example: I have been setting the Item User Status "Suspended" that are synchronized to the Project System Status "Canceled", and it's worked fine.
Do this steps:
1) Maintain DFM Business Transactions -> don't touch this (SAP standard)
2) Map Business Transactions for Synchronization -> don't touch this (SAP standard)
3) Map Project / Initiative Business Transaction to DFM Business Transaction -> Here you have to map the source bus transaction to  the DFM bus transaction (are the same).
PDCP PPO DX05 DFM5
4) Map Portfolio Management Status to DFM Business Transaction -> It's the same as point 3, but in reverse.
PDCP PPO DFM5 DX05
5) Map Portfolio Management Status to DFM Business Transaction -> Here you have to set the old status to the new status (i used to define the Item Status to he DFM Business transaction).
PPO Item PDCP 185 190 DFM5
6) Map DFM Business Transaction to Portfolio Management Status -> It's the same as point 5, but in reverse.
PPO Item PDCP DFM5 190
Hope this help you.
Best regards.
