• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CO575 - Create order network: Only internal number assignment permitted ?

  The SAP error message CO575 ("Create order network: Only internal number assignment permitted") typically occurs when you are trying to create a network order in SAP using an external number assignment method, but the system is configured to only allow internal number assignment for that particular order type.
  Cause:
  
  Number Assignment Configuration: The order type you are trying to create is set up in the system to use internal number assignment. This means that the system automatically generates the order number rather than allowing users to specify one.
  Transaction Settings: The transaction you are using may not support external number assignment for the specific order type.
  User Authorization: In some cases, user roles and authorizations may restrict the ability to create orders with external number assignment.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Order Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the order type in transaction code SPRO.
  Navigate to Controlling > Product Cost Controlling > Order > Order Types > Define Order Types.
  Check the settings for the order type you are using and ensure that it is set to allow external number assignment if that is your requirement.
  
  
  
  Use Internal Number Assignment:
  
  If the order type is configured for internal number assignment, you will need to create the order without specifying an external number. The system will generate the order number automatically.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
