• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COSE013 - Sequence &, operation &: Set not more than one indicator for overlap ?

  The SAP error message COSE013 ("Sequence &, operation &: Set not more than one indicator for overlap") typically occurs in the context of production planning and control, particularly when dealing with sequences and operations in a production order or routing.
  Cause:
  This error arises when there is an attempt to set multiple overlap indicators for operations within a sequence. In SAP, operations can have various indicators that define how they relate to each other, such as whether they can overlap in time. The overlap indicators are used to manage how operations are scheduled and executed, and having more than one overlap indicator for a single sequence or operation is not allowed.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check the Sequence and Operations: Review the sequence and the operations defined in your routing or production order. Ensure that you are not trying to set more than one overlap indicator for the same operation.
  
  
  Adjust Overlap Indicators: If you find that multiple overlap indicators are set, you will need to decide which one is appropriate for your scenario and remove the others. Typically, you can do this in the routing or production order details.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you are unsure about the correct settings, consult with your production planning team or refer to the configuration settings in SAP related to routing and operation scheduling.
  
  
  Test Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, test the changes by trying to save or process the routing or production order again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal for detailed documentation on production planning and control, specifically regarding routing and operation management.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CA01 (Create Routing), CA02 (Change Routing), and CO01 (Create Production Order) to navigate and make changes effectively.
