• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KN087 - Function is only supported for individual orders ?

  The SAP error message KN087 ("Function is only supported for individual orders") typically occurs when you are trying to perform a function that is only applicable to individual sales orders, but the system is processing a collective order or a different type of order that does not support that function.
  Cause:
  
  Order Type: The function you are trying to execute is designed for individual sales orders, but you are working with a collective order or a different order type (like a contract or a scheduling agreement).
  Transaction Context: The transaction you are using may not support the operation for the type of order you are currently processing.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in your SAP system that restrict certain functions to individual orders only.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Order Type: Verify the type of order you are working with. If it is a collective order or another type, you may need to switch to an individual order to perform the desired function.
  Use the Correct Transaction: Ensure that you are using the correct transaction code that supports the function for individual orders. For example, if you are trying to create or modify an order, make sure you are using the appropriate transaction for individual sales orders.
  Review Configuration: If you believe the function should be available for the order type you are using, consult with your SAP administrator or functional consultant to review the configuration settings related to order types and functions.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for the specific function you are trying to use to understand its limitations and requirements.

  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that your user role has the necessary authorizations to perform the function you are attempting. Sometimes, restrictions can be due to user permissions.
