RU510 - Details

• The SAP error message RU510, which states "A confirmation function can only be executed in dialog mode," typically occurs when a confirmation function is attempted to be executed in a background processing mode rather than in the interactive dialog mode. This error is common in scenarios involving confirmations in production orders, goods movements, or similar transactions.
  
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that certain functions in SAP require user interaction and cannot be executed in the background. This is often the case for confirmation transactions that need user input or confirmation, which cannot be provided in a non-interactive session.

  To resolve the RU510 error, you can take the following steps:
