  The SAP error message "40069 No link between resources in operation &1 and &2" typically occurs in the context of production planning or project management within SAP. This error indicates that there is no defined relationship or link between the resources assigned to two different operations in a routing or production order.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Resource Assignment: The resources (e.g., machines, labor) assigned to the operations do not have a defined relationship in the routing or production order.
