• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RU111 - No open sub-operation allowing confirmation exists in sequ. & op. & ?

  The SAP error message RU111 ("No open sub-operation allowing confirmation exists in sequence & op. &") typically occurs in the context of production order confirmations. This error indicates that the system cannot find any open sub-operations for the specified operation in the production order that allows for confirmation. Here are the potential causes, solutions, and related information for this error:
  Causes:
  
  
  No Open Sub-Operations: The operation you are trying to confirm may not have any open sub-operations. This can happen if all sub-operations have already been confirmed or if they have been completed.
  
  
  Incorrect Sequence: The sequence of operations may not be followed correctly. If you are trying to confirm a sub-operation that is not the next in line, the system will throw this error.
  
  
  Status of the Production Order: The production order may be in a status that does not allow confirmations (e.g., it might be set to "Completed" or "Closed").
  
  
  Missing or Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the routing or the production order itself, leading to discrepancies in the expected operations.
  
  
  User Authorization: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to confirm the operation.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Open Sub-Operations: Verify if there are any open sub-operations for the operation you are trying to confirm. You can do this by checking the production order in transaction CO03 (Display Production Order).
  
  
  Follow the Correct Sequence: Ensure that you are confirming the operations in the correct sequence. Confirm the previous operations or sub-operations before attempting to confirm the current one.
  
  
  Review Production Order Status: Check the status of the production order. If it is not in a status that allows confirmation, you may need to change the status or take appropriate actions to allow confirmation.
  
  
  Routing and Configuration Check: Review the routing and configuration settings for the production order. Ensure that the operations and sub-operations are correctly defined and that there are no discrepancies.
  
  
  User Authorization: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform confirmations. If not, contact your SAP security administrator to grant the required permissions.
