• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CF186 - PRT has document assignments. ?

  The SAP error message CF186 indicates that a Production Resource Tool (PRT) has document assignments, which prevents certain operations from being performed on that PRT. This error typically arises when you attempt to delete or change a PRT that is still linked to documents, such as production orders, maintenance orders, or other related documents.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of the CF186 error is that the PRT you are trying to modify or delete is still associated with one or more documents in the system. This association can include:
  
  Production orders
  Maintenance orders
  Other PRT-related documents
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CF186 error, you need to identify and remove the document assignments associated with the PRT. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Identify Document Assignments:
  
  Use transaction codes like CO03 (Display Production Order) or IW33 (Display Maintenance Order) to check if the PRT is assigned to any active orders.
  You can also use transaction CR03 to check the PRT details and see which documents are linked.
  
  
  
  Remove Assignments:
  
  If the PRT is assigned to a production order, you may need to remove it from the order. This can be done in the production order screen by navigating to the PRT assignment section and removing the PRT.
  If it is linked to a maintenance order, you can do the same in the maintenance order screen.
  
  
  
  Check for Other Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that the PRT is not assigned to any other documents or processes. This may include checking for any open or in-process orders that might still reference the PRT.
  
  
  
  Delete or Modify the PRT:
  
  Once all document assignments have been removed, you should be able to delete or modify the PRT without encountering the CF186 error.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help files related to PRTs and their management to understand the implications of assignments and how to handle them effectively.
