  The SAP error message C6040, which states "Goods receipt for co-products not allowed in the confirmation," typically occurs in the context of production confirmations in SAP, particularly when dealing with co-products in a production order. This error indicates that the system does not allow the posting of a goods receipt for co-products during the confirmation process.
  Cause:
  
  Co-Product Configuration: The production order is set up to handle co-products, but the system is configured in such a way that it does not allow goods receipts for these co-products during the confirmation process.
  Order Type: The order type may not support the goods receipt for co-products.
  Confirmation Settings: The confirmation settings in the production order may not be configured to allow for the posting of goods receipts for co-products.

  Solution:
  
  Check Production Order Settings: Review the production order settings to ensure that they are correctly configured to allow for goods receipts for co-products. This includes checking the order type and confirmation parameters.
  Review Co-Product Configuration: Ensure that the co-products are correctly defined in the production process. This includes checking the routing and bill of materials (BOM) to ensure that co-products are properly included.
  Adjust Confirmation Process: If the system does not allow for goods receipts during confirmation, consider adjusting the process. You may need to post the goods receipt separately after the confirmation is completed.
  Material Master Review: Check the material master records for the co-products to ensure that they are set up correctly. This includes checking the valuation class, movement types, and other relevant settings.
