• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COCM125 - Dependent order & cannot be deleted automatically ?

  The SAP error message COCM125 indicates that a dependent order cannot be deleted automatically because it is linked to another order or has dependencies that prevent its deletion. This typically occurs in the context of production orders, maintenance orders, or other types of orders that have relationships with one another.
  Cause:
  
  Dependent Orders: The order you are trying to delete has dependent orders that are still active or have not been completed.
  Status Issues: The order may be in a status that does not allow for deletion (e.g., it may be released or in process).
  Dependencies: There may be other objects (like reservations, purchase orders, etc.) that are linked to the order, preventing its deletion.
  System Configuration: Certain configurations in the system may enforce rules that prevent the deletion of orders with dependencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dependencies: Identify any dependent orders or objects linked to the order you are trying to delete. You can do this by checking the order's details in the SAP system.
  Complete or Delete Dependent Orders: If there are dependent orders, you may need to complete or delete them first before you can delete the main order.
  Change Order Status: If the order is in a status that prevents deletion, consider changing its status to a permissible one (e.g., set it to "Technically Completed" or "Closed").
  Use Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like CO02 (Change Order) or CO03 (Display Order) to review the order and its dependencies.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator for specific configurations that may affect order deletion.
  Error Logs: Check the error logs for more detailed information about why the deletion is being blocked.
