The message typically appears in the context of production planning and order management within the SAP system. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Plant-Specific Settings: The production order is linked to a specific plant, and the system does not allow reassignment to another plant due to configuration settings or restrictions.
  Material Availability: The material in question may not be available in the target plant, or it may not be set up for production in that plant.
  Order Status: The production order may be in a status that does not allow for changes, such as being released or already in process.
  Master Data Issues: There may be inconsistencies or missing data in the material master or plant master records that prevent the reassignment.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Plant Configuration: Ensure that the target plant is configured correctly to handle the material and production order. This includes checking the material master data for the target plant.
  Review Order Status: Verify the status of the production order. If it is in a status that does not allow changes, you may need to change the status or create a new order.
  Material Availability Check: Confirm that the material is available in the target plant and that it is set up for production there. You may need to create or adjust the material master record for the target plant.
  Consult with SAP Support: If the issue persists, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (like CO02 for changing production orders) to check the details of the order and make necessary adjustments.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on production order management and plant-specific settings.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to production orders (e.g., CO01, CO02, CO03) and material management (e.g., MM01, MM02).
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is implemented in your SAP system, check for any user exits or BAdIs that might affect the behavior of order reassignment.
  
  By addressing the above points, you should be able to resolve the COCM085 error and successfully reassign the production order to the desired plant.
