• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RU466 - Operation & in sequence & cannot be confirmed by progress confirmation ?

  The SAP error message RU466 indicates that an operation in a production order cannot be confirmed because it is not in the correct status or sequence. This typically occurs in the context of production planning and execution, where operations must be confirmed in a specific order.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Sequence: The operation you are trying to confirm is not the next operation in the sequence defined in the routing for the production order.
  Status Issues: The production order or the operation may not be in a status that allows confirmation (e.g., it may be in a "blocked" status).
  Missing Predecessor Confirmation: The previous operation in the sequence has not been confirmed yet, which is required before confirming the current operation.
  Routing Changes: Changes in the routing or production order that have not been updated in the system can lead to discrepancies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Operation Sequence: Verify the sequence of operations in the routing for the production order. Ensure that you are confirming the operations in the correct order.
  Confirm Previous Operations: Make sure that all preceding operations have been confirmed before attempting to confirm the current operation.
  Review Order Status: Check the status of the production order and the specific operation. Ensure that they are not blocked or in a status that prevents confirmation.
  Routing Verification: If there have been changes to the routing, ensure that the production order reflects these changes. You may need to reassign the routing or update the order.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize transaction codes like CO11N (for confirming operations) or COHV (for mass processing) to manage confirmations effectively.
