  The SAP error message 64217, "Order execution cannot be deleted: New allocation is not possible," typically occurs in the context of production orders or process orders when there is an attempt to delete or change an order execution that cannot be processed due to allocation issues. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Allocation Issues: The error often arises when the system cannot allocate the necessary resources (like materials or capacity) to the order. This can happen if the materials are not available or if there are constraints in the production capacity.
  Order Status: The order may be in a status that does not allow for deletion or modification. For example, if the order has already been confirmed or partially processed, it may not be eligible for deletion.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies on other orders or processes that prevent the deletion of the current order execution.
  Configuration Settings: Certain configuration settings in the system may restrict the ability to delete or modify order executions.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Order Status: Verify the status of the order. If it is confirmed or has been partially processed, you may need to reverse those actions before attempting to delete the order.
  Review Allocations: Check the allocation of materials and resources. Ensure that all necessary materials are available and that there are no constraints preventing allocation.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize transaction codes like CO02 (Change Order) or CO03 (Display Order) to review the order details and make necessary adjustments.
  Consult Logs: Check the system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context on why the allocation is not possible.
  Adjust Configuration: If the issue is related to configuration settings, consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to review and adjust the settings as necessary.
  Contact Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal IT team for further assistance.
