  The SAP error message CO680 ("First delete/reassign component that creates order") typically occurs in the context of production orders or process orders when you attempt to delete or change a component that is linked to the creation of the order. This error indicates that there is a dependency or relationship between the component and the order that must be resolved before you can proceed with the deletion or reassignment.
  Cause:
  
  Component Dependency: The component you are trying to delete or reassign is essential for the order's creation. This could be a material that is required for the production process.
  Order Status: The order may be in a status that does not allow changes to its components (e.g., released or completed).
  Component Assignment: The component might be assigned in a way that it is integral to the order's structure, such as being a key part of a BOM (Bill of Materials).
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Component Assignment: Review the component assignments in the order. You can do this by navigating to the order details and checking the components listed.
  Delete or Reassign: If you need to delete the component, ensure that it is not essential for the order. If it is, consider reassigning it to another order or changing its status.
  Change Order Status: If the order is in a status that prevents changes, you may need to change the status of the order (e.g., set it to "Created" or "Not Released") before making modifications.
  Use Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like CO02 (Change Production Order) or CO03 (Display Production Order) to manage the order and its components.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for specific instructions related to your version of SAP.
