• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RU048 - Function "summary confirmation" for op. & of seq. & not supported ?

  The SAP error message RU048 indicates that the function "summary confirmation" is not supported for a specific operation in a sequence. This error typically arises in the context of production planning and control, particularly when dealing with confirmation of operations in a production order or process order.
  Cause:
  
  
  Operation Type: The operation for which you are trying to perform a summary confirmation may not be configured to allow this type of confirmation. Summary confirmations are generally used for operations that can be confirmed in bulk rather than individually.
  
  
  Order Type: The order type associated with the operation may not support summary confirmations. Certain order types are designed for detailed confirmations only.
  
  
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the system may not allow summary confirmations for the specific operation or order type. This could be due to settings in the production order type or the confirmation parameters.
  
  
  Status of the Order: The status of the production order or operation may not permit summary confirmations. For example, if the order is already partially confirmed or has been set to a status that restricts further confirmations.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Operation Settings: Review the operation settings in the routing or production order to ensure that it is configured to allow summary confirmations. You can do this by checking the operation details in the routing or the production order.

  Use Detailed Confirmation: If summary confirmation is not supported, consider using detailed confirmation for the operation. This involves confirming each operation individually rather than in bulk.
