  SAP Error Message:
  W0147 - Maintain the "Use order number" indicator
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears when you are trying to process or create a document (such as a goods movement, invoice, or production order confirmation) that requires the "Use order number" indicator to be set, but it is currently not maintained or activated in the relevant configuration or master data.
  Typically, this happens in scenarios involving:
  
  Production orders
  Process orders
  Maintenance orders
  Reservations or goods movements linked to orders
  
  The system expects the "Use order number" indicator to be set to ensure that the order number is used as a reference in the document flow or postings.
  
  Explanation:
  The "Use order number" indicator controls whether the system should use the order number as a reference in postings or document creation. If this indicator is not set, the system cannot correctly link the transaction to the order, which may cause inconsistencies or incomplete document flows.
  
  
  Solution:
