• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CO647 - Manufacture of co-products in collective order not permitted.(Material &) ?

  The SAP error message CO647 indicates that the system does not allow the manufacture of co-products in a collective order for the specified material. This typically occurs in the context of production planning and control, particularly when dealing with co-products in a manufacturing process.
  Cause:
  
  Co-Product Configuration: The material in question is set up as a co-product in the system, but the collective order functionality is not enabled for it.
  Order Type Restrictions: The order type being used may not support the production of co-products.
  Master Data Settings: The material master or the production version may not be configured correctly to allow for co-product manufacturing in collective orders.
  Production Process: The production process may not be designed to handle co-products in a collective order scenario.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Material Master: Verify the configuration of the material in the material master. Ensure that it is set up correctly as a co-product and that all necessary settings are in place.
  Review Order Type: Check the order type being used for the production order. Ensure that it supports co-products. You may need to change the order type or adjust its configuration.
  Production Version: Ensure that the production version for the material allows for co-product manufacturing. You may need to create or modify the production version.
  Collective Order Settings: If collective orders are not required, consider creating individual orders for the production of co-products instead.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific configuration settings related to co-products and collective orders.
