• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EAM_WF260 - There are Technical Objects in items that are not inactive. ?

  The SAP error message EAM_WF260 indicates that there are technical objects in the items of a work order or maintenance order that are not in an inactive state. This error typically arises when you are trying to perform an action that requires all technical objects associated with the order to be inactive, such as closing or deleting the order.
  Cause:
  
  Active Technical Objects: The error occurs because there are still active technical objects (like equipment or functional locations) linked to the work order. These objects must be set to inactive before you can proceed with the action you are attempting.
  Incomplete Status Change: Sometimes, the status of the technical objects may not have been updated correctly, or there may be pending transactions that prevent them from being marked as inactive.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies or relationships with other orders or objects that are preventing the technical objects from being set to inactive.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Technical Objects: Review the technical objects associated with the work order. You can do this by navigating to the order details and checking the items tab to see which technical objects are still active.
  Set Objects to Inactive: If you have the necessary permissions, you can manually set the technical objects to inactive. This can usually be done in the equipment or functional location master data.
  Review Status: Ensure that all related transactions or processes have been completed. For example, if there are outstanding notifications or other orders that reference the technical objects, those need to be resolved first.
  Use Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like IW32 (Change Order) or IE02 (Change Equipment) to check and modify the status of the technical objects.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for specific procedures related to your SAP environment.
  
  Related Information:
