  The SAP error message C2008 ("Order &: Release despite missing PRT(s)") typically occurs in the context of production orders or maintenance orders when the system detects that a Production Resource Tool (PRT) required for the order is not available or has not been assigned. This can prevent the order from being released for processing.
  Cause:
  
  Missing PRT Assignment: The order requires a specific PRT that has not been assigned to it.
