  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RU024 - Preceding operation &1 of sequence &2 not yet confirmed ?

    The SAP error message RU024 indicates that a preceding operation in a production order sequence has not yet been confirmed. This error typically occurs in the context of production planning and execution, particularly when dealing with production orders and their operations.

    Cause:

    The error arises when you attempt to confirm a subsequent operation in a production order without first confirming the preceding operation. In a production order, operations are often dependent on the completion of prior steps. If the system detects that the required preceding operation has not been confirmed, it will generate this error message.

    Solution:

    To resolve the RU024 error, follow these steps:

    1. Check the Production Order: Review the production order in question to identify the sequence of operations. You can do this using transaction codes like CO03 (Display Production Order) or CO02 (Change Production Order).

    2. Confirm the Preceding Operation: Locate the preceding operation that has not been confirmed. You can confirm it using transaction CO11N (Single Screen Confirmation) or CO15 (Collective Confirmation) depending on your needs.

    3. Re-attempt Confirmation: After confirming the preceding operation, try to confirm the subsequent operation again. This should resolve the error.

    4. Review Dependencies: Ensure that all dependencies and prerequisites for the operations are met. Sometimes, there may be additional conditions that need to be satisfied before an operation can be confirmed.

    5. Check for Errors in the Order: If the preceding operation is confirmed but you still receive the error, check for any inconsistencies or errors in the production order itself.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CO03, CO02, CO11N, and CO15 for managing production orders and confirmations.
    • Production Order Structure: Understanding the structure of production orders and how operations are linked can help in troubleshooting similar issues in the future.
    • SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on production order management and confirmation processes.
