• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COCM126 - Dependent order & cannot be reassigned automatically ?

  The SAP error message COCM126 indicates that a dependent order cannot be reassigned automatically. This typically occurs in the context of production planning and order management, particularly when dealing with dependent requirements and production orders.
  Cause:
  
  Dependent Order Relationship: The error usually arises when there is a dependent order (such as a component or sub-assembly) that is linked to a parent order. If the system cannot automatically reassign this dependent order due to existing dependencies, it will trigger this error.
  Order Status: The status of the dependent order may not allow for reassignment. For example, if the order is already in a status that does not permit changes (e.g., completed or closed), the system will not allow reassignment.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that prevent automatic reassignment of dependent orders.
  Material Availability: If the materials required for the dependent order are not available, the system may not allow reassignment.
  
  Solution:
  
  Manual Reassignment: If automatic reassignment fails, you may need to manually reassign the dependent order. This can be done through the order management transaction (e.g., CO02 for changing production orders).
  Check Order Status: Ensure that the status of the dependent order allows for reassignment. If it is in a completed or closed status, you may need to reverse or reopen the order if possible.
  Review Dependencies: Check the dependencies between the orders. You may need to adjust the order relationships or dependencies in the system.
  Material Availability Check: Ensure that all required materials for the dependent order are available. If not, resolve any material shortages before attempting reassignment.
  Configuration Review: Consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to order management and dependencies. There may be specific settings that need to be adjusted to allow for automatic reassignment.
