Situations when CO01 is used

[former_member445197]

Hi,

This may be a basic question, but could you please explain in which situations production orders would have to be created manually (using t-code CO01), instead of creating them via the MRP run?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hello,

It depends upon how good you are in planning and setup of MRP run?

Ideally there should not be requirement to create manual production order without planned order reference. However there is no prefect world in rush order scenario, material scrap, customer requirement changes or reject in quality inspection, manual production order comes in picture.

There are few clients which I have seen that they do not allowed manual creation of production orders with same order type to rack the KPI of planning/planner.

Best Regards,

hi

There are many situations in which you may have to create Production Orders manually.

Remember, MRP is not perfect - it’s only a Production Plan. So you have planned orders , which are basically, “requests made to Production department” by the Planner or MRP Controller. Thus, you may either need to change the production orders in CO02, or create new ones if there’s no context for reference to a Planned order.

You may also have another scenario- if you work with Rework Order Type. If there’s Production rework, then you use CO01 to create a rework order
