  The SAP error message IW139 ("Consecutive key & & not maintained") typically occurs in the context of maintenance orders or work orders when there is an issue with the assignment of consecutive keys for the order. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a valid consecutive key for the specified order or operation.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Consecutive Key: The error usually arises when the system expects a consecutive key (like a number range) to be defined for a specific order type or operation, but it is not maintained in the configuration.
