  Distribute the Order: If the order has not been distributed, you may need to manually trigger the distribution process. This can often be done through the relevant transaction or by using background jobs that handle order distribution.
  Review Order Status: Check the current status of the production order. If the status is not appropriate for the action you are trying to perform, you may need to change the order status (if possible) or wait until the order reaches a status that allows the desired operation.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources related to production order management and OData APIs to understand the specific statuses and their implications.
