Component : Maintenance Orders - Service Execution

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1007368 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
When using BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN to modify or delete relationships in maintenance or service orders, users may encounter an error message stating ‘Relationship does not exist’ despite the relationship's existence. This issue is identified as a programming error. Multiple relationships for an operation are requisite for applying changes. The solution involves implementing corrective programming as detailed in provided instruction. For transformations involving AFAB table key fields, the DELETE and CREATE methods should be used instead of CHANGE. Only single, unambiguous relationships allow modification through this BAPI.
