• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RU068 - Sub-operation & is already confirmed by & percent ?

  The SAP error message RU068 indicates that a sub-operation in a production order has already been confirmed by a certain percentage. This typically occurs in the context of production planning and execution, where operations are broken down into sub-operations for more detailed tracking and management.
  Cause:
  The error message RU068 is triggered when you attempt to confirm a sub-operation that has already been partially or fully confirmed. This can happen due to:
  
  Duplicate Confirmation: An attempt to confirm a sub-operation that has already been confirmed by another user or process.
  Incorrect Sequence: Trying to confirm a sub-operation before the preceding operations have been confirmed.
  System Configuration: Settings in the production order or routing that do not allow for multiple confirmations of the same sub-operation.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RU068 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Confirmation Status: Review the confirmation status of the sub-operation in question. You can do this by navigating to the production order and checking the confirmation details.
  
  
  Avoid Duplicate Confirmations: Ensure that you are not trying to confirm the same sub-operation multiple times. If it has already been confirmed, you may need to adjust your process to avoid this.
  
  
  Review Order and Operation Sequence: Make sure that all preceding operations are confirmed before attempting to confirm the sub-operation. 
  
  
  Adjust Confirmation Percentage: If you need to confirm a partial completion, ensure that the percentage you are trying to confirm does not exceed what has already been confirmed.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for specific guidance related to your configuration and processes.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize transaction codes like CO11N (Single Screen Entry of Confirmations) or CO15 (Order Confirmation) to manage confirmations effectively.
