Service Management – System: Item 002000 for schedule line 001010 is in the work area

Well, I ran into an issue recently where my repair orders worked great if I only had a single line item.  However, if I added an additional line item, I was getting error message:  v1357

System: Item 002000 for schedule line 001010 is in the work area

I did some initial googling, and it was pointing me to some quality transaction, OQ77.  I took a look, but nothing going on there.  Eventually, after some debugging I found that some custom code was resorting an internal table XVBAP.  This took me some time because I was expecting the issue be around VBEP, so eventually I found where the error happened and started to work backwards, and I finally made the connection to XVBAP.  Once I figured this out, it was pretty easy to look through the custom code and see where the issue was occurring.

If you see this error, check to make sure you didn’t accidentally resort an internal table.  The sequence is rather important 🙂
