• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QT212 - Control key does not allow the operation to be confirmed ?

  The SAP error message QT212 ("Control key does not allow the operation to be confirmed") typically occurs in the context of production order confirmations or when working with operations in a manufacturing environment. This error indicates that the control key assigned to the operation does not permit the confirmation of the operation you are trying to perform.
  Causes:
  
  Control Key Configuration: The control key assigned to the operation in the routing or production order may not be configured to allow confirmations. Control keys determine how operations are processed and what actions are permitted.
  Operation Status: The operation may be in a status that does not allow confirmation, such as being marked as completed or canceled.
  Missing Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to confirm operations associated with the control key.
  Incorrect Order Type: The order type associated with the production order may not support confirmations for the specified control key.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Control Key Settings:
  
  Go to the configuration of the control key in transaction SPRO (Customizing).
  Navigate to Production ? Basic Data ? Control Keys.
  Ensure that the control key assigned to the operation allows for confirmations. Look for settings related to "Confirmation" and ensure they are enabled.
  
  
  
  Review Operation Status:
  
  Check the status of the operation in the production order. If the operation is already completed or has been canceled, you will not be able to confirm it again.
  You can view the operation status in transaction CO02 (Change Production Order) or CO03 (Display Production Order).
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform confirmations. This can be checked with your SAP security team or by reviewing the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Check Order Type:
  
  Ensure that the production order type is compatible with the control key. Some order types may have restrictions on confirmations.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the control key settings or the implications of changing them, consult the SAP documentation or your internal SAP support team for guidance.
