CP414 - Details

• The SAP error message CP414 indicates that an operation is being used as a reference operation for a sequence, which is not allowed in certain contexts. This error typically arises in the context of production planning and control, particularly when dealing with routing and operations in the SAP system.
  
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  An operation is defined in a routing or a production order and is being referenced incorrectly.
  The operation is marked in a way that it cannot be used as a reference for another operation or sequence.
  There may be inconsistencies in the routing definitions or the way operations are structured.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CP414 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Routing Definition:
  
  Go to the routing transaction (e.g., CA03) and review the operations defined in the routing.
  Ensure that the operation you are trying to use as a reference is correctly defined and not marked as a reference operation itself.
