    Error Message:

    WOD1020 - Order number is not correct


    Cause:

    This error typically occurs when the system cannot find or validate the order number entered in a transaction related to production orders, maintenance orders, or other order-related processes in SAP. The reasons can include:

    • The order number entered does not exist in the system.
    • The order number is incorrectly typed or incomplete.
    • The order number belongs to a different order type than expected.
    • The order has been deleted or archived.
    • The order is not released or not yet created.
    • The user does not have authorization to access the order.
    • The order number format does not match the expected format (e.g., missing leading zeros).

    Solution:

    1. Verify the Order Number:

      • Double-check the order number for typos or missing digits.
      • Use the search help (F4) to find the correct order number.
    2. Check Order Existence:

      • Use transaction codes like CO03 (Display Production Order) or IW33 (Display Maintenance Order) to verify if the order exists.
      • If the order does not exist, create a new order or use a valid existing order.
    3. Check Order Status:

      • Ensure the order is in a status that allows the intended operation (e.g., released, not deleted).
      • Use transaction codes like CO02 or IW32 to check and change the order status if necessary.
    4. Check Order Type:

      • Confirm that the order number corresponds to the correct order type expected by the transaction.
      • For example, a maintenance order number cannot be used in a production order transaction.
    5. Authorization Check:

      • Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access or modify the order.
      • Use transaction SU53 after the error occurs to check authorization failures.
    6. Check Number Range:

      • Ensure the order number falls within the valid number range for the order type.
      • Use transaction SNRO or check configuration in SPRO under Production or Plant Maintenance settings.
    7. System Consistency:

      • If the order was recently created or changed, ensure that the system has completed all background jobs or updates.
      • Sometimes, inconsistencies can cause temporary errors.
