• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KO412 - Order &: Deletion flag and deletion indicator set ?

  The SAP error message KO412 ("Order &: Deletion flag and deletion indicator set") typically occurs when you attempt to perform an operation on a production order or a process order that has been marked for deletion. This means that the order has been flagged in the system to indicate that it should not be processed further.
  Cause:
  
  Deletion Flag: The order has been marked with a deletion flag, indicating that it is no longer valid for processing.
  Deletion Indicator: The deletion indicator is set, which further confirms that the order is intended to be deleted or is in a state that prevents further processing.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Order Status:
  
  Use transaction code CO03 (Display Production Order) or CO02 (Change Production Order) to check the status of the order.
  Verify if the deletion flag is set. If it is, you will need to determine if the order should indeed be deleted or if it was set in error.
  
  
  
  Remove the Deletion Flag:
  
  If the order should not be deleted, you can remove the deletion flag. This can typically be done in the order change screen (CO02) by unchecking the deletion flag.
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make this change.
  
  
  
  Consult with Relevant Stakeholders:
  
  If you are unsure whether the deletion flag should be removed, consult with your production planning or operations team to confirm the status of the order.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no dependencies or linked documents that might be affected by removing the deletion flag.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  If you need to delete the order permanently, you can use transaction code COHV (Mass Processing of Production Orders) to delete orders in bulk, but ensure that this is the intended action.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for more details on production order management and deletion processes.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to change order statuses and flags.
  System Configuration: Check if there are any specific configurations in your SAP system that might affect how deletion flags are handled.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant for further assistance.
