• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IW167 - System: Order type &1 will be reversed, order type &2 will be set ?

  The SAP error message IW167 indicates that there is an issue with the order types in the system. Specifically, it means that the system is attempting to reverse one order type (denoted as &1) and set another order type (denoted as &2). This typically occurs in the context of work order processing, maintenance orders, or production orders.
  
  Cause:
  
  Order Type Configuration: The order type that is being reversed may not be compatible with the order type that is being set. This can happen if the order types have different configurations or if there are restrictions in place that prevent the transition from one order type to another.
  Status Issues: The current status of the order may not allow for the reversal or change of order types. For example, if the order is already completed or closed, the system may not permit changes.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies or relationships between the two order types
