    The document discusses common errors seen during automatic goods movements (COGI) in SAP production and inventory management. It provides a list of error messages, explanations of the causes, and resolutions like adding inventory to storage locations, changing posting periods, correcting user authorizations. It recommends using transaction COGI or reprocessing function CO1P to clear incorrect goods movements and running program CORUPROC periodically via batch jobs to reduce errors.

    Common COGI Errors & Resolutions

    Dear All, We often find questions related to Backflushing & COGI errors (Errors in Automatic Goods Movements during Confirmation entries). Let's recollect certain Basic details Goods movements can be created during the confirmation entry for the Production/Process order. Backflushing

    If you confirm an order / operation with components that have the Backflushing indicator set, the system automatically posts a goods issue for these components. For more information about the Backflushing indicator, refer to the end of this section. Automatic Goods Receipt If the control key of the operation being confirmed specifies automatic goods receipt, the system automatically posts the produced material to stock. Automatic goods receipt can also be activated by the production scheduling profile. Automatic goods movements are not permitted for materials that require serial numbers. However, if an automatic goods movement is specified for a material that requires a serial number then an error record is written. This error record can be displayed using the reprocessing function but it cannot be posted. Error records for materials that require serial numbers must be deleted manually. The goods movement must then be executed manually in inventory management. Backflushing Indicator We can control backflushing in the following objects: Material master - Backflushing key (MRP2 view)

    Work center - Basic data screen. This is only taken into account, if the material master stipulates that the work center should determine whether the material is backflushed. Work centers are assigned to a production order via the operations. The operations are copied from the routing used. Routing - component overview. This indicator is always taken into account, irrespective of the indicators in the material master or work center. If the Backflushing indicator has been maintained in the master data, it is copied from there when you create a production order. You can change the indicator in the production order
    Incorrect Goods Movement If errors arise during a goods movement for certain reasons(for example, during backflushing insufficient stock is available in the warehouse) then you can either process the incorrect goods movements directly in the confirmation transaction or separately using a reprocessing function.

    Correction in the confirmation In Customizing for Confirmations (OPK4 - Goods movements indicator in the Error handling/logs area) you can define that, for individual entry of confirmations, the system displays an error log before it saves a confirmation with incorrect goods movements. Before you save the confirmation you have the option of correcting the incorrect goods movements. Correction when reprocessing

    If you want to process incorrect goods movements at a later stage, you can use the reprocessing function (COGI/CO1P)
    The table AFFW shows the list of Goods Movements with Errors from Confirmations We can clear many of the regular errors by setting up a batch job to run the program CORUPROC at defined frequency.Still, we need a regular manual intervention to check to clear the residual errors using transactions COGI (orCO1P), left behind after the batch job execution. This is an attempt to prepare the list of Common errors seen in COGI and respective resolution actions. Kindly feel free to suggest changes / additions to the list. Listing few of SAP notes which could be useful reference, while analyzing the Goods movement errors -

    Note 540392 - FAQ: Automatic goods movements

    Note 545749 - COGI: How to correct certain errors Note 603615 - Old AFFW records can neither be processed in COGI nor CO1P Note 1631357 - Deletion of obsolete failed goods movements Note 730840 - Consulting: All goods movements receive the same error While searching around, found another nice blog on COGI, by Tanya Duncan. Sure, many would

    find this an useful reference as well.


    Thanks. Senthil
