• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CO364 - Order type & not allowed (used for statistical orders only) ?

  The SAP error message CO364 ("Order type & not allowed (used for statistical orders only)") typically occurs when you are trying to perform an operation on a production order or a process order that is not permitted for the specified order type. This error indicates that the order type you are working with is configured in the system to be used only for statistical purposes and cannot be used for actual production activities.
  Cause:
  
  Order Type Configuration: The order type you are trying to use is set up in the system as a statistical order type. Statistical orders are typically used for tracking purposes and do not allow for actual production postings or confirmations.
  Incorrect Order Type Usage: You may be attempting to perform an operation (like confirmations, goods movements, etc.) that is not allowed for the specified order type.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Order Type: Verify the order type you are using. You can do this by checking the order details in the SAP system. Ensure that you are using the correct order type for the intended operation.
  Change Order Type: If you need to perform actual production activities, you may need to create a new order using a different order type that is configured for production activities rather than statistical purposes.
  Review Configuration: If you believe the order type should allow for production activities, you may need to review the configuration settings in the SAP system. This can be done by:
  
  Navigating to the configuration settings for order types in the SAP system (Transaction code: OPL8 for production orders).
  Checking the settings for the specific order type to ensure it is not set as a statistical order type.
  
  
  Consult with SAP Support or Functional Team: If you are unsure about the configuration or need to make changes, it may be best to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who can provide guidance based on your specific business processes.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Order Types: In SAP, order types are used to categorize different types of production orders, process orders, and other order-related activities. Each order type has specific settings that determine how it behaves in the system.
  Statistical Orders: These are typically used for tracking costs and performance without affecting inventory or production quantities. They are useful for planning and analysis but do not allow for actual production postings.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CO01 (Create Production Order), CO02 (Change Production Order), and CO03 (Display Production Order) to manage production orders effectively.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the CO364 error and ensure that you are using the correct order type for your production activities.
