  The SAP error message PPEACT630 indicates that there is an indirect assignment of a resource (or activity) at the operation level for the specified activities. This typically occurs in the context of production planning or project management within SAP, particularly when dealing with production orders or network activities.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:

  There may be inconsistencies in the assignment of resources to operations, or the configuration of the routing/network may not be set up correctly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the PPEACT630 error, you can take the following steps:

  Direct Assignment:
  
  If possible, directly assign the resource to the operation instead of relying on indirect assignments. This can often resolve the issue.
  
  
  
  Check for Changes:
  
  If there have been recent changes to the routing or network, ensure that all changes have been saved and that there are no inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
