• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CO587 - Item &: Co-products cannot be deleted ?

  The SAP error message CO587 ("Item &: Co-products cannot be deleted") typically occurs in the context of production orders or process orders when you attempt to delete a co-product from a production order that has already been processed or has certain dependencies.
  
  Cause:
  
  Co-Product Definition: Co-products are defined in the material master and are produced alongside the main product in a production process. If the co-product has been produced or has been accounted for in the system, it cannot be deleted.

  Solution:
  
  Check Order Status: Ensure that the production order is in a status that allows for modifications.
