• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CURTO_UI088 - Operation and sub operation numbers cannot be same ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CURTO_UI088 indicates that there is an issue with the operation and sub-operation numbers being the same in a planning or scheduling context within SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). This error typically arises when you are trying to create or modify a production order, a planned order, or a similar object where operations and sub-operations are defined.
