CO120 - Details

Error Code: CO120
Error Message: Order quantity is smaller than delivered quantity

Summary
This error occurs when the quantity specified in a production or process order is less than the quantity that has already been confirmed as delivered or issued. Essentially, the system prevents you from setting an order quantity that is smaller than what has physically been processed or recorded.

Root Causes
User attempts to reduce the order quantity after confirmations or goods movements have been posted against the order.
Incorrect master data or order setup where initial order quantity is set too low compared to actual production or delivery.
Partial or full goods receipt or confirmation has been posted, but the order quantity was subsequently changed to a smaller value.
System configuration or validation checks that prevent inconsistencies between order quantity and confirmed/delivered quantities.
