• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CO887 - No availability check function has been selected ?

  The SAP error message CO887 ("No availability check function has been selected") typically occurs in the context of production planning and control when the system is unable to perform an availability check for a material or component in a production order or a related process. This error indicates that the system settings do not specify an availability check function for the relevant material or order type.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The availability check has not been configured for the material in question. This can happen if the material master data does not have the appropriate settings.
  Order Type Settings: The order type being used may not have an availability check assigned to it in the configuration.
  Material Master Settings: The material master record may not have the availability check indicator set.
  Missing Availability Check in the MRP Area: If the material is managed in a specific MRP area, the availability check may not be defined for that area.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CO887 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  Check the "MRP" view and ensure that the "Availability Check" field is filled in with the appropriate check (e.g., 01 for "Check against stock and requirements").
  If it is not set, you can change it (if you have the necessary authorizations) or contact your SAP administrator to update it.
  
  
  
  Check Order Type Configuration:
  
  Use transaction code OPL8 to check the configuration of the order type being used.
  Ensure that the availability check is assigned to the order type. If not, you may need to modify the configuration.
  
  
  
  Check MRP Area Settings:
