• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CO607 - Total usage probability = & for alternative group & ?

  The SAP error message CO607, which states "Total usage probability = & for alternative group &," typically occurs in the context of production planning and control, particularly when dealing with alternative BOMs (Bill of Materials) or routing in SAP.
  Cause:
  This error message is triggered when the total usage probability for an alternative group in a BOM or routing is not set correctly. The usage probability is a percentage that indicates how often a particular alternative is expected to be used compared to others in the same group. If the total usage probability for all alternatives in a group does not equal 100%, this error will occur.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the total usage probability for the alternative group is correctly set to 100%. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the BOM or Routing:
  
  Go to the transaction code CS02 for BOM or CA02 for routing, depending on where the error is occurring.
  
  
  
  Check the Alternative Group:
  
  Navigate to the alternative group in question. You will see a list of alternatives and their corresponding usage probabilities.
  
  
  
  Adjust Usage Probabilities:
  
  Ensure that the sum of the usage probabilities for all alternatives in the group equals 100%. If it does not, adjust the values accordingly.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes.
  
  
  
  Re-test the Process:
  
  After correcting the usage probabilities, re-run the process that triggered the error to confirm that it has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Alternative BOMs/Routings: In SAP, alternative BOMs and routings allow for flexibility in production by enabling the use of different components or processes based on availability or other criteria.
  Usage Probability: This is a key parameter in production planning that helps in determining which alternative should be used during production based on historical data or forecasts.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  CS02: Change BOM
  CA02: Change Routing
  CS03: Display BOM
  CA03: Display Routing
