Hello Everybody,

When trying to transfer a confirmed Planned Production Order, the system gives me the error Message: "Prod Order ...: the number of operations differ from the number present in Routing Operations. (Also check resource storage horizon)"

This message comes only for two items, I checked already the number of operations in tirou1102m000 (2 in my case) and the session cprrp1600m000 shows also 2, I confirmed that on the table cprrp200.

I checked the work centers, they are all defined as resources, and I checked the storage horizon, is sufficient.

I even deleted all operations and inserted 2 operations from an item which works fine.

Compared the master data, changed item group, nothing seems to help.

Logged call with Infor, here is their answer, not very helpful:

planned orders planned by using the fixed lead-time cannot be transferred. This is standard functionality.
To transfer the planned order a planning needs to be done including an operations planning.
Then the planned capacity use is filled with the planned operations and SFC will use these operations to create the Production Order.

The fixed lead-time horizon is used for performance reasons, because the operation planning takes some performance.
If you do not have performance issues leave the fixed lead-time horizon to 999. And even then there are other ways to improve the performance.

When Capacity used by planned order does not match to current Item Routing ooperation, we cannot transfer a planned production order to a SFC production order.

SO CHECK FOLLOWING

1. All the work centres are defined as resources & are available in cprpd200.
2. Confirm no.of operations in the planned orders are same as in actual valid routing


the error is because of the difference in no.of operations between the planned orders and the actual no.of operations present in the Routing.
One that was corrected the error will not longer appear.

Anybody an idea??

If somebody is interested in this specific solution:

One of the items in the Bom of the production order was a phantom item and had a Routing with it. The order System of this item is manual.

That means when generating order planning, the system does not consider the routing of this phantom item, because order system manual.

When checking against a manual startet production order, the number of routings are not identical because the system also includes the routing of the Phantom item.

Changing the Order System to planned solves the issue in this case.
