/CUM/ORDER054 - Details

• The SAP error message /CUM/ORDER054 indicates that you are trying to delete compatible unit operations in a production order or a similar context, but the system does not allow this action. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or Production Planning (PP) modules, where compatible unit operations are defined for production processes.
  
  Cause:
  
  Compatible Unit Operations: The error arises because the unit operations you are trying to delete are marked as compatible. In SAP, compatible unit operations are those that can be executed in parallel or can be substituted for one another. Deleting them could disrupt the planning and execution of production processes.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies or links to other operations, resources, or orders that prevent the deletion of these unit operations.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete certain operations.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Dependencies: Check if there are any dependencies or links
