• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RU459 - Operation & in sequence & cannot be confirmed by progress confirmation ?

  The SAP error message RU459 indicates that an operation in a production order cannot be confirmed because it is not in the correct sequence. This typically occurs in the context of production planning and execution, where operations must be completed in a specific order as defined in the routing for the production order.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Sequence of Operations: The operation you are trying to confirm is not the next operation in the sequence defined in the routing. For example, if you are trying to confirm operation 0020, but operation 0010 has not been confirmed yet, you will receive this error.
  Routing Issues: There may be issues with the routing itself, such as missing or incorrectly defined operations.
  Order Status: The production order may be in a status that does not allow for the confirmation of operations (e.g., if the order is not released).
  User Error: The user may be attempting to confirm operations out of order due to misunderstanding the process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Operation Sequence: Review the routing for the production order to ensure that you are confirming operations in the correct order. Confirm the previous operations before attempting to confirm the current one.
  Confirm Previous Operations: If you find that previous operations have not been confirmed, confirm them first. You can do this through the transaction code CO11N (Single Screen Entry of Confirmations) or CO15 (Order Confirmation).
  Review Order Status: Ensure that the production order is in a status that allows for confirmations. The order should be released and not in a status that prevents further processing.
  Check Routing: If there are discrepancies in the routing, you may need to correct them in the routing master data (transaction code CA01/CA02).
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct sequence or the routing, consult the production documentation or speak with a production planner.
