• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CP323 - Sequence &/&/&: Branch operation succeeds return operation ?

  The SAP error message CP323 typically relates to issues in the production planning and control (PP) module, specifically concerning the sequence of operations in a production order. The message indicates that there is a problem with the branch operation succeeding the return operation in a sequence.
  Cause:
  
  
  Incorrect Sequence Configuration: The sequence of operations in the routing or production order may not be configured correctly. The system expects a certain order of operations, and if the branch operation is set to occur after a return operation, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Routing Issues: The routing defined for the production order may have inconsistencies or errors, such as missing operations or incorrect dependencies.
  
  
  Production Order Status: The status of the production order may not allow for the operation to be executed as intended. For example, if the order is already completed or in a status that does not permit further processing.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Routing and Operations: Review the routing for the production order to ensure that the sequence of operations is correct. Make sure that the branch operation is appropriately placed in relation to the return operation.
  
  
  Adjust Production Order: If the production order is in an incorrect status, you may need to change its status or adjust the operations to allow for the correct sequence to be followed.
  
  
  Review Dependencies: Ensure that any dependencies between operations are correctly defined. If an operation is dependent on the completion of another, this must be reflected in the routing.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling this error message. There may be additional context or steps provided by SAP that are relevant to your specific configuration.
