• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COOS070 - Remove backflush indicator (No goods movement in case of confirmation) ?

  The SAP error message COOS070 indicates that there is an issue with the backflush indicator in the context of production order confirmations. This error typically arises when you attempt to confirm a production order that has the backflush indicator set, but there are no goods movements associated with that confirmation. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, solution, and related information for this error:
  Cause:
  
  Backflush Indicator Set: The production order has the backflush indicator activated, which means that the system expects to automatically post the goods movements for the components used in the production process.
  No Goods Movement: The confirmation you are trying to post does not have any associated goods movements. This can happen if:
  
  The production order is being confirmed without any actual consumption of materials.
  The components have already been consumed in a previous operation or confirmation.
  There is a mismatch between the production order and the actual materials used.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the COOS070 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  Check Production Order Status: Ensure that the production order is in a status that allows for confirmation and that it has not been fully confirmed already.
  Review Components: Verify that the components required for the production order are available and have not been consumed in another operation or order.
  Remove Backflush Indicator: If you do not intend to backflush materials for this confirmation, you can remove the backflush indicator from the production order. This can be done by:
  
  Going to the production order in transaction CO02 (Change Production Order).
  Navigating to the "Components" tab and unchecking the backflush indicator.
  
  
  Perform Manual Goods Movements: If you need to confirm the order without backflushing, you can manually post the goods movements for the components used in the production process.
  Check Configuration: If this issue occurs frequently, review the configuration settings for backflushing in the production planning module to ensure they align with your business processes.
