• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CUM/ORDER025 - Not allowed to delete SUB CU operation & ?

  The SAP error message /CUM/ORDER025 Not allowed to delete SUB CU operation & typically occurs in the context of production orders or process orders when there is an attempt to delete a subordinate (SUB CU) operation that is not permitted. This can happen for various reasons, including:
  Causes:
  
  
  Operational Dependencies: The operation you are trying to delete may have dependencies with other operations or components in the order. If there are subsequent operations that rely on the completion of the operation you are trying to delete, the system will prevent the deletion.
  
  
  Status of the Order: The production or process order may be in a status that does not allow changes. For example, if the order is already confirmed, released, or has been partially processed, the system may restrict modifications.
  
  
  Master Data Constraints: There may be constraints related to the master data configuration, such as routing or work center settings, that prevent the deletion of certain operations.
  
  
  User Authorizations: The user attempting to delete the operation may not have the necessary authorizations to perform this action.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Review the order and check if there are any dependent operations or components. If there are subsequent operations that rely on the one you are trying to delete, you may need to adjust or delete those first.
  
  
  Change Order Status: If the order is in a status that does not allow changes, you may need to change the status of the order (e.g., set it to "TECO" - Technically Completed) before attempting to delete the operation.
  
  
  Review Master Data: Ensure that the routing and work center settings are correctly configured and do not impose restrictions on the operations.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Verify that the user has the necessary permissions to delete operations in production or process orders. If not, consult with your SAP security administrator to obtain the required authorizations.
  
  
  Use Alternative Methods: If deletion is not possible, consider alternatives such as marking the operation as "not relevant" or adjusting the order in a way that meets your requirements without needing to delete the operation.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like CO02 (Change Production Order) or CO03 (Display Production Order) to view and manage production orders.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for detailed information on production order management and the implications of deleting operations.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in production planning and control.
