• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IHREP102 - Order & not in buffer - no mass change for operations possible ?

  The SAP error message IHREP102 ("Order & not in buffer - no mass change for operations possible") typically occurs in the context of production order management, particularly when trying to perform mass changes on operations within a production order. This error indicates that the specific order you are trying to modify is not currently loaded into the buffer, which is necessary for the mass change operation to proceed.
  Cause:
  
  Order Not in Buffer: The production order you are trying to change is not loaded into the memory buffer of the SAP system. This can happen if the order has not been accessed recently or if the buffer has been cleared.
  Transaction Context: The mass change operation may be trying to access an order that is not in the current session or transaction context.
  System Performance: If the system is under heavy load or if there are issues with the database, it may not be able to load the order into the buffer.
  
  Solution:
  
  Access the Order: Open the production order in the relevant transaction (e.g., CO02 for changing production orders) to load it into the buffer. Once the order is accessed, try the mass change operation again.
  Check Buffer Settings: Ensure that the buffer settings for production orders are configured correctly in your SAP system. This may involve checking the system parameters or consulting with your SAP Basis team.
  Use Alternative Methods: If the mass change operation continues to fail, consider using alternative methods for making changes, such as:
  
  Making changes individually to the operations.
  Using batch input sessions or LSMW (Legacy System Migration Workbench) for bulk changes.
  
  
  System Performance: If the issue is related to system performance, consult with your IT department to check for any underlying issues with the SAP system or database.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CO02 (Change Production Order), CO01 (Create Production Order), and CO03 (Display Production Order).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. You can search the SAP Support Portal for specific notes that may address this error.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to production order management and mass changes to understand the requirements and limitations of these operations.
  
  If the problem 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.
