Duplicate Production orders

[nicky_hays]

Hi,

Our products are make to order (MTO).Upon saving of the sales order, production orders are created for all MTO line items.

There are a lot of duplicate productions orders associated with some of our sales orders.

In 80% of the cases, the correct and the duplicate production order has been created at the same time.

Any ideas as to what is causing the dupplicate production orders?

Sincerely,

Nicky,

Does both the duplicate production orders show sales order reference in CO03? is there any difference in dates and qunaties of production order?

Can you create a sales order in qulaity and test this thouroghly ,and determine in what specific cases , duplicate orders are created?

Do let us know your findings for further suggesting anything/

Hi Nicky,

Could you check whether these sales orders were changed. check it in sales order change documents.

If SOs are changed for qty or reqt date, then it may be possible.

Actually, in 82 sales orders and production orders are pegged so that customer specific stock is used.

Also, check whether the production orders which you are claiming as duplicates have sales order reference.

SO reference missing in Prod ord could also be the issue.

Make sure you have following planning parameters:

requirements type KMFA

requirements class 201

Product orders are created with order type PP04

Please check and revert.
