  The SAP error message RU053, which states "Standard confirmation is not possible for operation & &," typically occurs in the context of production order confirmations. This error indicates that the system is unable to process a standard confirmation for a specific operation and sequence in a production order. Here are some common causes, solutions, and related information for this error:
  Causes:
  
  
  Operation Status: The operation may not be in a status that allows confirmation. For example, if the operation is already confirmed or if it is not released, you may encounter this error.
  
  
  Confirmation Type: The confirmation type being used may not be appropriate for the operation. For instance, if the operation is set up for a different type of confirmation (like a partial confirmation), trying to perform a standard confirmation could lead to this error.
  
  
  Missing Data: Required data for the confirmation might be missing. This could include missing components, missing time tickets, or other necessary information.
  
  
  Order Type Configuration: The configuration of the order type may not allow for standard confirmations. This could be due to settings in the production order type or the routing.
