3616042 - Error CO_MES_INT031 When Creating Orders Integrated with MES in S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

The following error occurs when creating production or process orders integrated with a Manufacturing Execution System (MES):

  • Operation control key XXXX cannot be used with an MES
    Message no. CO_MES_INT031

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the Create Process Order app or Create Production Order app
  2. Create an order
  3. The error occurs:
    Operation control key XXXX cannot be used with an MES
    Message no. CO_MES_INT031 

Cause

This error occurs because milestone confirmation is not supported in MES-integrated scenarios. The system is functioning as designed.

Resolution

To resolve the issue, avoid using control keys configured with milestone confirmation in MES-integrated environments.

Since MES does not support milestone confirmation, such control keys are not applicable for integrated orders.
