• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CO236 - Largest op. no. in parallel seq. & is greater than the return op. no. ?

  The SAP error message CO236 indicates that there is an issue with the operation numbers in a parallel sequence in a production order or routing. Specifically, it means that the largest operation number in the parallel sequence is greater than the return operation number, which can lead to inconsistencies in the production process.
  
  Cause:
  
  Operation Numbering: The operation numbers in a parallel sequence must be sequential and should not skip numbers. If the largest operation number exceeds the return operation number, it indicates a misconfiguration in the routing or production order.
  Routing Configuration: There may be an error in the routing configuration where the operations are not defined correctly, leading to this inconsistency.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors during the creation or modification of the routing or production order can also lead to this issue.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Routing: Review the routing for the production order. Ensure that the operation numbers are correctly defined and that
