• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VMP_MSG222 - Action cannot be performed; manufacturing structure is resolved ?

  The SAP error message VMP_MSG222 indicates that an action cannot be performed because the manufacturing structure has already been resolved. This typically occurs in the context of production planning or manufacturing processes within SAP, particularly when dealing with production orders, bill of materials (BOM), or routing.
  Cause:
  The error usually arises when:
  
  Manufacturing Structure Already Resolved: The system has already processed the manufacturing structure for the production order or the relevant item, and any further actions that require the structure to be unresolved cannot be performed.
  Incorrect Sequence of Operations: The user may be trying to perform an operation that is not allowed at the current state of the manufacturing structure.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data that prevent the system from allowing further actions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, consider the following steps:
