• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/SEQ353 - Function only possible for orders with status 'default' or 'fixed' ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/SEQ353 indicates that a function you are trying to execute is only applicable to orders that have a status of 'default' or 'fixed'. This error typically arises in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) within SAP, particularly when dealing with production orders or planned orders.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to perform an operation (such as changing, deleting, or processing an order) on an order that does not meet the required status criteria. The statuses 'default' and 'fixed' are specific to the order's state in the planning process, and if an order is in a different state (e.g., 'released', 'completed', 'cancelled', etc.), the function will not be applicable.

  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Order Status: Verify the status of the order you are trying to process. You can do this by navigating to the order in the relevant transaction (e.g., transaction code /SAPAPO/ORD for orders) and checking its current status.
  
  
  Change Order Status: If the order is not in 'default' or 'fixed' status, you may need to change its status. This can often be done through the appropriate transaction or function in SAP. For example, if you need to change an order from 'released' to 'fixed', you may need to use the relevant transaction to do so.
  
  
  Review Business Process: Ensure that the business process you are following aligns with the requirements for the order statuses. If you frequently encounter this error, it may be worth reviewing the workflow to ensure that orders are being managed correctly.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more information on order statuses and the specific functions you are trying to execute. This can provide insights into the expected workflow and any prerequisites.
