• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RM824 - No operation requiring confirmation exists in the routing ?

  The SAP error message RM824 "No operation requiring confirmation exists in the routing" typically occurs in the context of production orders or process orders when you attempt to confirm an operation that does not require confirmation according to the routing defined for that order. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  
  Routing Configuration: The routing for the material or production order may not have any operations marked as requiring confirmation. This can happen if the routing is not set up correctly or if the operations have been defined in a way that does not require confirmation.
  
  
  Order Type: The type of order you are working with may not require confirmation for the operations defined in the routing.
  
  
  Operation Status: The operation you are trying to confirm may already be completed or may not be in a status that allows for confirmation.
  
  
  Incorrect Order: You may be trying to confirm an operation for a different order than the one intended.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Routing: 
  
  Go to the routing for the material in question and verify that the operations are set up correctly. Ensure that at least one operation is marked as requiring confirmation.
  You can check this in transaction code CA03 (Display Routing) and look for the confirmation settings in the operation details.
  
  
  
  Review Order Type: 
  
  Ensure that the order type you are using is configured to require confirmations. You can check this in the configuration settings for the order type.
  
  
  
  Check Operation Status: 
  
  Verify the status of the operation you are trying to confirm. If it has already been confirmed or is not in a status that allows confirmation, you will need to address that first.
  
  
  
  Confirm Correct Order: 
  
  Double-check that you are confirming the correct production order and operation. Ensure that the order number and operation number match what is defined in the routing.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  If you are unsure about the routing or confirmation settings, consult the SAP documentation or your internal SAP support team for guidance on how to set up routings and confirmations correctly.
