• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CO585 - Operation release rejected (order marked for deletion) ?

  The SAP error message CO585 indicates that an operation release has been rejected because the order is marked for deletion. This typically occurs in the context of production orders or process orders in SAP's Controlling (CO) module, particularly in the Production Planning (PP) area.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the production order or process order has been flagged for deletion. This can happen for several reasons:
  
  Order Deletion Flag: The order has been marked for deletion in the system, which prevents any further processing, including the release of operations.
  Status Management: The order may have a status that restricts further actions, such as being in a "deleted" or "archived" state.
  User Action: A user may have inadvertently set the deletion flag on the order.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CO585 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Order Status:
  
  Go to the production order in question (transaction code CO03 for display).
  Check the status of the order to confirm if it is marked for deletion.
  
  
  
  Remove Deletion Flag:
  
  If the order is indeed marked for deletion and you need to continue processing it, you will need to remove the deletion flag.
  This can typically be done in the order display (CO03) by navigating to the "Status" tab and unchecking the deletion flag if you have the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Recheck Operations:
  
  After removing the deletion flag, try to release the operation again. Ensure that all prerequisites for releasing the operation are met.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your Team:
  
  If you are unsure why the order was marked for deletion, consult with your production planning or controlling team to understand the implications of unmarking the deletion flag.
