  The SAP error message CO746 indicates that a project does not allow make-to-order (MTO) stock. This error typically arises in the context of production planning and project management within SAP, particularly when dealing with make-to-order production scenarios.
  Cause:
  The error CO746 can occur due to several reasons:
  
  
  Project Settings: The project may be configured in such a way that it does not allow for make-to-order stock. This could be due to the project type or specific settings in the project definition.
  
  
  Material Master Settings: The material associated with the project may not be set up for make-to-order production. This includes settings in the material master that dictate how the material is produced and managed in inventory.
  
  
  Order Type Configuration: The order type used for the project may not support make-to-order production. This can be a configuration issue in the SAP system.
  
  
  Stock Type: The stock type for the project may not be compatible with make-to-order processes. For example, if the project is set to use stock that is not designated for MTO, this error can occur.
