• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DIACL068 - Start of operation is later than end of operation ?

  The SAP error message DIACL068 indicates that there is a discrepancy in the scheduling of operations within a production order or a similar context. Specifically, it means that the start time of an operation is set to be later than its end time, which is logically incorrect and prevents the system from processing the order correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Time Entries: The start and end times for operations may have been entered incorrectly, either manually or through a data import.
  Scheduling Conflicts: Changes in the scheduling of operations (e.g., delays, rescheduling) may not have been updated correctly, leading to inconsistencies.
  Dependencies Not Respected: If there are dependencies between operations that are not respected, it can lead to this error.
  System Bugs or Configuration Issues: In some cases, there may be bugs in the system or misconfigurations that lead to incorrect scheduling.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Operation Times: Check the start and end times of the operations in the production order. Ensure that the start time is earlier than the end time.
  Adjust Scheduling: If the operations are dependent on one another, ensure that the scheduling reflects the correct sequence and timing.
  Re-enter Data: If the times were entered incorrectly, re-enter the correct start and end times for the operations.
  Check for Conflicts: Look for any other operations that may be conflicting with the current operation's schedule and resolve those conflicts.
  Use Scheduling Tools: Utilize SAP's scheduling tools to automatically adjust the timings based on the constraints and dependencies.
  Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, consult SAP documentation or support for specific guidance related to your version and configuration.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like CO02 (Change Production Order) or CO03 (Display Production Order) to review and modify the operations.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address known issues or bugs related to scheduling in your version of SAP.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is implemented in your SAP system, check if any user exits or BAdIs are affecting the scheduling logic.
  Testing: After making changes, test the production order to ensure that the error is resolved and that the operations are scheduled correctly.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the cause of the DIACL068 error in SAP.
