The different between CO27 and MB26

[Former Member]

Dear expert,

Is anybody could help me, I have a problem when running picking order, actually we have create a background job to run CO27 since several years ago, but since several months ago when we run this program the picking order is not generate, but when we use MB26 is working. My question is what the different between CO27 and MB26, does CO27 can not used any more for the picking list?

Thank you in advance.

Dear Maya,

following is from SAP note 544520:

Q: "What are the main differences between Transactions CO27/COIK and the picking list Transaction MB26?"

A: "Transactions CO27/COIK are lists, based on the order information

system, whereas Transaction MB26 is reservation-based. However, it is also possible to make an order-based selection in Transaction MB26 using the 'Production order' selection window. In this case, both lists should also issue the same components for identical orders. In the event of incorrect goods movements in Transaction COGI, picking using Transaction MB26 generates postprocessing records,

whereas Transactions CO27 and COIK send an error handling. If the goods movements cannot be corrected, the records are returned unchanged.

Picking using Transaction MB26 can be scheduled as a background job. This is not possible with Transaction CO27/COIK.

In Transactions COIK/COHV, you can use mass processing to store goods movements of the picking as future change records and you can then update them later using a report (for example CORUPROC). There is no function of this type in Transaction MB26.

Transaction OPJ2 can be used to trigger an automatic stock or batch determination for picking with Transaction CO27/COIK. This is not possible for Transaction MB26."
