• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RU116 - Several operations were identified as the last operation in order & ?

  The SAP error message RU116, which states "Several operations were identified as the last operation in order," typically occurs in the context of production planning and control, particularly when dealing with routing and operations in a production order.
  Cause:
  This error arises when the system identifies multiple operations in a routing that are marked as the last operation for a particular order. In a routing, each operation should have a clear sequence, and only one operation should be designated as the last operation. If multiple operations are incorrectly set as the last operation, the system cannot determine the correct sequence of operations to execute.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Routing: 
  
  Go to the routing associated with the production order.
  Review the operations defined in the routing to identify which operations are marked as the last operation.
  
  
  
  Correct the Operations:
  
  Ensure that only one operation is marked as the last operation. You can do this by:
  
  Editing the routing in the routing transaction (e.g., CA01 for creating or CA02 for changing).
  Selecting the operation that should be the last one and ensuring that the "Last Operation" indicator is set only for that operation.
  
  
  
  
  
  Save Changes: 
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the routing.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Order: 
  
  Go back to the production order and try to process it again. The error should be resolved if the routing is correctly configured.
