  Check Order Assignment: Verify if there are any production orders that should be linked to the campaign. If not, you may need to create or assign orders to the campaign.
  Review Campaign Settings: Ensure that the campaign is set up correctly and that the parameters allow for orders to be linked. Check the campaign type and its configuration.
