• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PP_SCH_PRODN050 - Order &1 is firmed. ?

  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to make changes to a production order that has been firmed.

  Go to the transaction code CO02 (Change Production Order).

  Confirm the action to unfirm the order.
  
  
  
  Make Necessary Changes:
