  The SAP error message IW886, which states "'Not perform' is not possible," typically occurs in the context of work order processing in the SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) module. This error usually indicates that there is an issue with the status of the work order or the operations associated with it.
  Causes of IW886 Error
  
  
  Incorrect Status of Work Order: The work order may not be in a status that allows for the "Not perform" action. For example, if the work order is already completed or closed, you cannot mark an operation as "Not perform."
  
  
  Operation Status: The specific operation within the work order may have a status that does not permit the "Not perform" action. For instance, if the operation is already confirmed or has been marked as completed, you cannot change its status.
  
  
  Dependencies on Other Operations: If there are dependencies or relationships with other operations that have been completed or confirmed, it may prevent you from marking an operation as "Not perform."
  
  
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to change the status of the work order or its operations.
  
  
  Solutions to IW886 Error
  
  
  Check Work Order Status: Verify the status of the work order. If it is in a completed or closed status, you may need to change it back to a status that allows for modifications (e.g., "Released" or "In Process").
  
  
  Review Operation Status: Check the status of the specific operation you are trying to mark as "Not perform." If it has already been confirmed, you may need to reverse the confirmation before you can change its status.
  
  
  Adjust Dependencies: If there are dependencies with other operations, ensure that those operations are in a status that allows for changes. You may need to adjust the sequence of operations or their statuses.
  
  
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the action. If not, contact your SAP administrator to grant the required permissions.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on the status management of work orders and operations.
