Collective production order. change sales order assignment

[Former Member]

For our materials that are not configurable (e.g., not KMAT), we have both make to stock and make to order environment. In a make to order situation, we can change the sales order assigned to the production order via CO02 (Assignment tab). However, when we make one of the components of this top material procured with special procurement D (collective order/direct production), then we have an order network. With this one change, I can no longer change the sales order assigned to the leading production order. The sales order assignment does not touch the subordinate order.

Cannot find anything on this in KBAs or community postings. Anyone else working with collective orders in a make-to-order setting?

Thanks,

Tom

Found the answer via debugging in function module: CO_MF_MOD_SPEC

This prohibits changing sales order in collective orders.

SAP’s own code comments:“Special rule 15: Change of the customer order numbernot possible when:- no sales order number is set already

- KMAT / CUOBJ set [configurable product]

- in the order network” [collective order]

Bottom line: This is a hard limitation in the SAP code. No configuration or enhancement options to work around this.
