• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IW568 - Order has commitments; status change not possible; recall purchase order ?

  The SAP error message IW568 indicates that a maintenance order has commitments associated with it, which prevents a status change. This typically occurs when you attempt to change the status of a maintenance order (for example, trying to set it to "Completed" or "Closed") while there are still open commitments, such as purchase orders or reservations linked to that order.
  
  Cause:
  
  Open Commitments: There are purchase orders or reservations that have not been fully processed or closed, which are still linked to the maintenance order.
  Status Restrictions: The system restricts certain status changes if there are outstanding commitments to ensure that all financial obligations are settled before the order can be closed.

  To resolve the IW568 error, you can follow these steps:
