• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EBR036 - Process order &1 does not have status BRRQ (batch record required) ?

  The SAP error message EBR036 indicates that a process order does not have the status "BRRQ" (Batch Record Required). This status is necessary for certain operations in the production process, particularly when batch records are required for compliance or quality control purposes.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Incorrect Order Status: The process order may not be in the correct status that allows for batch record processing. The status "BRRQ" indicates that a batch record is required, and if the order is in a different status, this error will occur.
  Missing Configuration: The configuration settings for batch management or process orders may not be set up correctly, leading to the system not recognizing the need for a batch record.
  Order Creation Issues: The process order may not have been created correctly, or there may have been issues during the order creation process that prevented it from being assigned the correct status.
