• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IW007 - Order & was already created for this notification ?

  The SAP error message IW007 ("Order & was already created for this notification") typically occurs in the context of the SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) module when you attempt to create a maintenance order from a notification that has already been converted into an order. This error indicates that the system has detected that an order already exists for the specified notification, and therefore, it cannot create a new order for the same notification.
