This error indicates that the system is expecting a sort number (which is used to determine the order of processing) to be present but cannot find it.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Sort Number: The primary cause of this error is that the sort number (specifically the value '1') is not defined in the relevant master data or configuration settings.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration for the inspection plan or quality notification may not be set up correctly, leading to missing or incorrect sort numbers.
