• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CP604 - No sub-operation selected (please select) ?

  The SAP error message CP604 ("No sub-operation selected (please select)") typically occurs in the context of production planning or process order management when the system expects a sub-operation to be selected but none has been chosen. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to confirm operations in a production order or when working with process orders.
  Cause:
  
  No Sub-Operation Defined: The operation you are trying to work with does not have any sub-operations defined in the routing or work center.
  Incorrect Selection: The user may not have selected a sub-operation when prompted, or the selection was not properly registered.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or select sub-operations.
  System Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the routing or work center that prevent sub-operations from being displayed or selected.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Routing: Verify that the routing for the production order includes sub-operations. You can do this by navigating to the routing in the SAP system and checking the operations defined.
  Select Sub-Operation: If sub-operations are defined, ensure that you are selecting the appropriate sub-operation when prompted. Look for a selection box or dropdown that allows you to choose the sub-operation.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and select sub-operations. If not, contact your SAP security administrator.
  System Configuration: If you suspect a configuration issue, consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to ensure that the routing and work center settings are correct.
  Transaction Code: If you are using a specific transaction code (like CO11N for confirmations), ensure that you are following the correct steps to select sub-operations.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CO01 (Create Production Order), CO02 (Change Production Order), CO11N (Confirm Production Order), and others related to production planning.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on production orders, routings, and work centers.
  User Training: If this error is common among users, consider providing training on how to properly select sub-operations in the relevant transactions.
