  The SAP error message IW186 ("Order & was not yet technically completed") typically occurs when you attempt to perform an action on a maintenance order or production order that has not been marked as technically complete. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to settle an order, close it, or perform a final confirmation.
  Cause:
  
  Incomplete Operations: The order may have operations that are not fully completed or confirmed.
  Pending Activities: There may be pending activities or tasks that need to be finished before the order can be technically completed.
  Missing Documentation: Required documentation or approvals may not have been finalized.

  Solution:
  To resolve the IW186 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Order Status: Review the status of the order in transaction IW33 (Display Order) or IW32 (Change Order). Ensure that all necessary operations are completed.
