1. Create a material without a production version.
2. Create a production order of the material using app Create Production Order.
3. After entering the essential quantity and scheduling information, if the order type is YBW1, the "Generate Operation" button will appear with the error massage. For other order types, the button will not appear.

The "Generate Operation" button appears because the default operation for the order type YBW1 has been maintained. After clicking the button, an operation will be created for the order based on the default values maintained. For other order types, since the default values are not maintained, it is not possible to generate the operation.

The default values can be maintained in configuration activity 102534 - Define Default Values.
If the "Generate Operation" button is needed for certain order types, just maintain the default operation for the order types in this configuration activity.
