• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_EXEC_CONF014 - Operation activity must be completed separately ?

  The SAP error message MPE_EXEC_CONF014 ("Operation activity must be completed separately") typically occurs in the context of production planning and execution, particularly when dealing with operations in a production order or a process order. This error indicates that the system requires certain operations to be completed individually rather than in a batch or combined manner.
  Cause:
  The error can arise due to several reasons, including:
  
  Operation Dependencies: The operations in the order may have dependencies that require them to be processed one at a time.
  Resource Constraints: The resources (machines, tools, etc.) assigned to the operations may not be able to handle multiple operations simultaneously.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the production order or the routing may specify that certain operations must be completed separately.
