• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CUM/ORDER111 - CU orders can only be released or techn. completed in dialog mode (IW32) ?

  The SAP error message /CUM/ORDER111 indicates that a Customizing (CU) order can only be released or technically completed in dialog mode using transaction IW32. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform these actions in a background job or through a programmatic interface, which is not allowed for CU orders.
  Cause:
  
  Dialog Mode Requirement: The system is designed to ensure that certain actions on Customizing orders (CU orders) are performed in dialog mode to maintain data integrity and ensure that the user is aware of the changes being made.
  Background Processing: If you are trying to release or technically complete a CU order through a background job or a batch process, the system will throw this error because it requires user interaction.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Use Transaction IW32: To resolve this error, you need to manually release or technically complete the CU order using transaction IW32. Follow these steps:
  
  Open the SAP GUI.
  Enter transaction code IW32.
  Enter the order number of the CU order you want to release or complete.
  Perform the necessary actions (release or technically complete) in the dialog mode.
  
  
  
  Check for Background Jobs: If you have a background job that is trying to perform this action, you will need to modify the job to either:
  
  Remove the action on CU orders from the background job.
  Schedule the job to notify a user to perform the action manually.
  
  
  
  User Authorization: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the actions on CU orders in dialog mode.
