• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message O1068 - Order type changed (old: &,new: &) ?

  The SAP error message O1068 indicates that there has been a change in the order type of a production order or a process order. This typically occurs when an attempt is made to change an order type that is not allowed due to system settings or business rules.
  Cause:
  
  Order Type Change: The error arises when an order is being processed, and the system detects that the order type has been changed from one type to another (e.g., from a production order to a process order).
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings in the SAP system may not allow for the change of order types once an order has been created.
  Business Rules: Certain business processes may dictate that once an order is created, its type cannot be altered.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Order Type Configuration: Review the configuration settings for order types in the SAP system. Ensure that the settings allow for the intended changes.
  Review Business Processes: Consult with the business process owners to understand if the change in order type is permissible and under what conditions.
  Create a New Order: If changing the order type is not allowed, consider creating a new order with the desired order type instead of trying to change the existing one.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide guidance on handling order type changes.
  Debugging: If you have access to technical resources, debugging the process to see where the change is being triggered can provide insights into why the error is occurring.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CO01 (Create Production Order), CO02 (Change Production Order), and CO03 (Display Production Order) to manage orders effectively.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on order types and their configurations.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is implemented in your SAP system, check for any user exits or BAdIs that might be affecting order type changes.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or a consultant who specializes in SAP production planning and order management.
