Message number: 318
Message text: Order type & has int. no. assignment; you cannot enter the order number
An exception condition can arise because:
Internal number allocation is entered for the order type; however, an
order number is defined in the transfer structure.
The order number set in the transfer structure is not in a valid number
range.
The order number set in the transfer structure already exists in the
database.
The order number set in the transfer structure is already being
processed (errors occurred during order locking).
The order number set in the transfer structure cannot be processed at
all, due to a system error.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

- Order type & has int. no. assignment; you cannot enter the order number ?The SAP error message KO318 indicates that you are trying to enter an order number for a production order or a process order that has an internal number assignment. This means that the system is set up to automatically generate order numbers rather than allowing users to manually enter them.

For example, use transaction codes like CO01 (Create Production Order) or COR1 (Create Process Order) to let the system generate the order number automatically. Check Order Type Configuration: If you believe that the order type should allow manual entry,
