  • What causes this issue?

    You have already created operations for the
    <GL:maintenance_order>maintenance order</> and are now trying to include
    a <GL:maintenance_task_list>PM task list</>. In doing so, you exceeded
    the maximum number of an operation (9999).

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    The reason for this is that the system puts the operations from the PM
    task list at the end of the last manually created operation. This means
    that the new oeprations are all given higher numbers than the last
    manually created operation.

    How to fix this error?

    Check whether there are large gaps between the numbers of the manually

    include the task list again.
