  Error Message: WR027
  Text:
  First material must be before the second material in sequence
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you are trying to maintain or process a sequence of materials (e.g., in a BOM, routing, or a sequence-dependent process) and the system detects that the order of materials is incorrect. Specifically, the "first material" should appear before the "second material" in the defined sequence, but the system finds the opposite.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  When defining or changing a BOM (Bill of Materials) where components must be listed in a certain sequence.
  When working with routing operations or production sequences where materials/components are expected to follow a logical order.
  When maintaining material sequences in processes like inspection plans, production orders, or batch management.
  
  The system enforces this sequence to ensure logical consistency and correct processing order.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the sequence/order of materials:
