SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CO_MES_INT - Integration with Manufacturing Execution Systems

• Message number: 039

• Message text: Order &1 has been distributed to an MES; Check quantity reduction

What causes this issue?

The order &V1& has been distributed to a manufacturing execution system
(MES). You have reduced the order quantity below the limit dictated by
the overdelivery tolerance. If the MES is no longer able to react to
this quantity change, the original order quantity may be confirmed, thus
causing the overdelivery tolerance to be exceeded. The system takes the
maximum value of the order quantity destributed to the MES after release
as the basis for this calculation.
The agreed overdelivery tolerance of &V2& percent allows a maximum
quantity reduction to &V3& &V4&.

System Response

Depending on the configuration of the message, the system issues an
error or warning.

How to fix this error?

Check your input.
Check the status of the order in the MES.
Adjust the overdelivery tolerance.

  The SAP error message CO_MES_INT039 indicates that there is an issue related to the distribution of an order to a Manufacturing Execution System (MES). Specifically, the message states that the order has been distributed, but there is a problem with the quantity reduction. This typically occurs in scenarios where the production order has been sent to an MES for execution, but the quantities being reported back do not match the expected values.
  Cause:
  
  Quantity Mismatch: The quantity reported by the MES may be less than what was expected or planned in the SAP system.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the integration between SAP and the MES, leading to discrepancies in data transfer.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual errors in entering quantities in either the SAP system or the MES can lead to mismatches.
  Production Issues: Actual production may have encountered issues, such as machine breakdowns or material shortages, leading to a lower output than planned.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check MES Reports: Review the reports from the MES to understand the actual quantities produced and compare them with the planned quantities in SAP.
  Reconcile Data: Ensure that the data between SAP and the MES is reconciled. This may involve checking for any discrepancies in the order details, such as material availability, production capacity, and actual output.
  Adjust Quantities: If the MES has reported a lower quantity due to valid reasons (e.g., production issues), you may need to adjust the quantities in SAP accordingly. This can involve updating the production order or creating a new order if necessary.
  Review Configuration: Check the integration settings between SAP and the MES to ensure that they are correctly configured. This includes verifying the communication protocols, data mapping, and any middleware used for integration.
  Training and Procedures: Ensure that users are trained on the correct procedures for entering data in both systems to minimize manual errors.
  
  Related Information:
