• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KU137 - Order &1 is not explicit ?

  The SAP error message KU137, which states "Order &1 is not explicit," typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) and production planning (PP) modules when dealing with internal orders or production orders. This error indicates that the specified order is not defined as an explicit order in the system, which can lead to issues when trying to perform certain operations or transactions related to that order.
  Cause:
