  The SAP error message ARUN_MAIN015 indicates that a confirmation has already been assigned to a particular operation or process, and as a result, it cannot be changed. This error typically occurs in the context of production orders, confirmations, or other processes where a confirmation status is critical.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Confirmation: The primary cause of this error is that there is already a confirmation recorded for the operation or process you are trying to modify. This could be due to a previous entry that has locked the data for changes.
  Status Lock: The system may have a status lock on the operation, preventing any changes until the confirmation is either reversed or deleted.
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces data integrity rules to ensure that once a confirmation is made, the associated data remains consistent and reliable.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Confirmations: Review the existing confirmations for the operation or process. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., CO15 for confirmations) and checking if there are any confirmations already recorded.
  Reverse or Delete Confirmation: If you need to make changes, you may need to reverse or delete the existing confirmation. This can typically be done using the transaction code CO14 (for reversing confirmations) or CO15 (for deleting confirmations).
