The problem occurred during creation of an order for material &V3&.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

without an operation and the data required to generate an operation has
unfortunately not been maintained.

How to fix this error?

the generation of operations for order type &V1& in plant &V2&. You do
this in Customizing.
