I recently run into this while testing the new Fiori App "Production Cost Analysis" and wanted to share it with the community.
This new Fiori App, has a somewhat "weird" or new way to deal with Order statuses as we were used to in the past when we would display them in GUI (Ex. CO03).
If you see my 1st screen capture, my Production Order 10004582, shows with status "Closed" in the Fiori App. Which for me it was an issue right away when I saw it, because I knew I did not Closed (CLSD) this Order yet.
If you display this same Order number in GUI Tcode CO03 (2nd screen capture), you can clearly see the highlighted Order statuses as being REL - Released and DLV for Delivered. But nowhere in the Order statuses you will see CLSD - Closed.
Is the Fiori App working properly ? YES
Is this some sort of bug in the App that needs to be reported and fix ? NO
Is there any OSS Note that fixes this issue ? NO
No, this is not a bug and the Fiori App is working properly (as per SAP design).
According to OSS Note 3295371 ( APP F1780 "production cost analysis" doesn’t show correct order status ), this works as intended. It considers the status DLV - Delivered that the order has been completed and therefore is Closed as in the Fiori App.
Being used to the traditional Order statuses, this makes me a lot of noise and is a bit misleading as in the backend the order is not even TECO - Technically Complete yet, and the Fiori App already shows it as Closed.
This could lead to several issues and impacts if not understood properly.
No TECO in the orders. Orders could remain in those statuses for ever. You will need to use other reports to make sure the shop floor people TECO them. (I know you should not use this report to analyze order statuses, but still the mismatch is what bugs me ...)
Same case for real CLSD - Close that should be put in the Orders after a period of time.
I find it weird, but I guess that only for the purpose of analyzing "Production Variances" a DLV status means no more work on the order. But from a technical point of view, this status will not prevent the shop floor from continuing using the order and book costs against it if they want.
Below is the OSS Note and an extract of it where it explains this situation.

Please compare order number XXXXXX (Status ID = REL) in the system. In SAP GUI (t-code COOIS, CO02/3, COR2/3, etc.), the manufacturing order has more statuses which some are relevant and others aren't relevant for the FIORI app (usually CRTD->REL->PCNF->CNF->DLV->TECO->CLSD etc.).
In the Fiori app, the manufacturing orders with the 'Released' status [REL] (or partially released [PREL]) but not 'Delivered' [DLV] or 'Technically Completed' [TECO] or 'Closed' [CLSD] statuses are considered as 'OPEN.' The orders with DLV, TECO, and CLSD statuses are considered CLOSED in the Fiori apps.
The order gets OPEN since it's released, and later it gets status CLOSED once TECO, DLV or CLSD status is set. These two statuses: OPEN and CLOSED, are available for selection in the smart filter dropdown box (Open, Closed, Open and Closed).
