  The SAP error message COCM403 indicates that there is an issue when trying to delete a production order or a related component in the context of a production process. Specifically, the message states that the assembly (identified by &1) and the item (identified by &2) are set to be directly produced, which means that they cannot be deleted due to their current status or configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Direct Production Setting: The assembly item is configured for direct production, which means it is linked to a production order that is currently active or has not been fully processed.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies or relationships with other production orders, components, or assemblies that prevent deletion.
  Status of the Order: The production order may be in a status that does not allow for deletion (e.g., released, in process, etc.).
  Material Master Settings: The material master settings for the assembly or item may restrict deletion due to specific configurations.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Production Order Status: Verify the status of the production order associated with the assembly and item. If it is in a status that allows for changes, consider changing it to a status that permits deletion.
  Review Dependencies: Check for any dependencies or linked orders that may be preventing the deletion. You may need to delete or adjust these dependencies first.

  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (like CO02 for changing production orders) to make necessary adjustments.
