• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MILL_OC122 - Order type &1 of the ref. order is different from selection profile &2 ?

  The SAP error message MILL_OC122 indicates that there is a mismatch between the order type of the reference order and the selection profile being used in a particular transaction. This error typically occurs in the context of production planning or order management, particularly in the SAP Mill Products industry solution.
  Cause:
  
  Order Type Mismatch: The reference order (e.g., a production order or process order) has a different order type than what is defined in the selection profile. Each selection profile is configured to work with specific order types, and if the reference order does not match, this error will be triggered.
  Configuration Issues: The selection profile may not be correctly configured to include the order type of the reference order.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be an error in the data entry where the wrong reference order is being selected.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Order Type: Verify the order type of the reference order that you are trying to use. You can do this by navigating to the order details in SAP and checking the order type field.
  Review Selection Profile: Check the configuration of the selection profile being used. Ensure that it includes the order type of the reference order. You can do this in the configuration settings for the selection profile.
  Adjust Configuration: If the selection profile does not include the required order type, you may need to adjust the configuration to include it. This typically requires access to the SAP configuration settings (transaction SPRO).
  Use Correct Reference Order: If the reference order is incorrect, select the appropriate order that matches the selection profile.
  Consult Documentation: Review any relevant SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction you are working with for additional guidance.

  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in production planning or the specific module you are working with.
