• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FCO_RT_PROD_COSTS002 - Closed Orders ?

  The SAP error message FCO_RT_PROD_COSTS002 typically indicates an issue related to closed orders in the context of production costing. This error usually arises when there is an attempt to post costs or make changes to an order that has already been closed. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Closed Production Orders: The error occurs when you try to post costs or make adjustments to a production order that has already been closed. In SAP, once an order is closed, it is generally not allowed to make further postings to it.
  Costing Variances: If there are discrepancies or variances in the costing that need to be addressed, but the order is already closed, this error may be triggered.
  System Configuration: Certain configurations in the system may restrict postings to closed orders, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Reopen the Order: If it is necessary to make adjustments or post costs to the closed order, you may need to reopen the order. This can typically be done through transaction codes like CO02 (Change Order) or CO01 (Create Order), depending on your system configuration and permissions.
  
  Note: Reopening an order may have implications on financial reporting and should be done with caution.
  
  
  
  Post Costs to a New Order: If reopening the order is not feasible, consider posting the costs to a new production order. This may involve creating a new order that reflects the necessary adjustments or costs.
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings: Check the configuration settings in the controlling (CO) module to ensure that the settings for order closure and postings are aligned with your business processes.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for handling closed orders and cost postings.
  
  
  Engage with SAP Support: If the issue persists or if you are unsure about the implications of reopening an order, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for assistance.
