• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CO123 - Order quantity & increased by & & due to scrap ?

  The SAP error message CO123 indicates that the order quantity has been increased due to scrap. This typically occurs in the context of production orders or process orders when the actual quantity produced is less than the planned quantity due to scrap or defects in the manufacturing process.
  Cause:
  
  Scrap in Production: The production process has resulted in scrap, which means that some of the materials or products were not usable.
  Order Quantity Adjustment: The system automatically adjusts the order quantity to account for the scrap, which can lead to discrepancies between planned and actual quantities.
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the production order or the material master may not be configured correctly to handle scrap properly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Production Order: Check the production order to understand the extent of the scrap and how it has affected the order quantity.
  Adjust Scrap Rates: If the scrap rate is too high, consider reviewing the production process to identify areas for improvement. This may involve quality control measures, better training for operators, or equipment maintenance.
  Update Configuration: Ensure that the configuration settings for scrap handling in the material master and production order are set correctly. This includes reviewing the scrap percentage and ensuring it aligns with actual production capabilities.
  Re-evaluate Planning: If the scrap is a recurring issue, it may be necessary to adjust the planning parameters to account for expected scrap in future production runs.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific configuration settings related to scrap handling.
