How To Fix CO831 - No default value maintained for op. generation for order type &1 (mat &3)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CO - PPC order processing messages

• Message number: 831

• Message text: No default value maintained for op. generation for order type &1 (mat &3)

What causes this issue?

You are creating an order for which the system can find no valid
routing. When generating an operation the system cannot find any default
value for the order type &V1& in plant &V2&.
The problem occurred during creation of an order for material &V3&.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

The system reacts with a termination since you cannot create an order
without an operation and the data required to generate an operation has
unfortunately not been maintained.

How to fix this error?

To create an order without a routing you must define default values for
the generation of operations for order type &V1& in plant &V2&. You do
this in Customizing.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CO831 - No default value maintained for op. generation for order type &1 (mat &3) ?

  The SAP error message CO831 indicates that there is no default value maintained for operation generation for a specific order type and material. This typically occurs in the context of production orders or process orders when the system is trying to generate operations for a production order but cannot find the necessary configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The error usually arises when the configuration for the order type does not have a default value set for operation generation. This can happen if the order type is newly created or if the configuration has been changed.
  Material Master Settings: The material master record may not have the necessary settings for the production process, which can lead to the system being unable to generate operations.
  Routing Issues: If there is no routing defined for the material or if the routing is not correctly assigned to the order type, the system will not be able to generate operations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Order Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the order type in transaction SPRO.
  Navigate to Production ? Order Types ? Define Order Types.
  Ensure that the default values for operation generation are maintained for the specific order type.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master:
  
  Check the material master record for the material in question using transaction MM03.
  Ensure that the relevant views (like MRP, Work Scheduling) are properly maintained and that the material is set up for production.
  
  
  
  Verify Routing:
  
  Check if a routing exists for the material using transaction CA03.
  Ensure that the routing is correctly assigned to the order type and that it contains the necessary operations.
  
  
  
  Check Production Version:
  
  If applicable, ensure that a production version is defined for the material that links the material to the routing and BOM (Bill of Materials).
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, try to create the production order again to see if the error persists.
