Do you have any question about this error?
Message type: E = Error
Message class: C2 - Other messages production orders
Message number: 337
Message text: Plan was not exploded due to errors!
Errors occurred during the explosion of the routing. Because the old
routing has already been deleted, the status of the order is now
inconsistent.
In the standard procedure, the transaction is terminated because, for
technical reasons, the system is unable to reproduce the previous
status.
If this message is set as a "Warning" in Customizing, a dummy operation
is generated and the transaction is not terminated.
Remove the error in the routing and then repeat the action.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

The SAP error message C2337, "Plan was not exploded due to errors," typically occurs in the context of production planning and control, particularly when dealing with production orders or planned orders. This error indicates that the system encountered issues while trying to explode a bill of materials (BOM) or routing for a specific plan.
Causes:
- Missing BOM or Routing: The system may not find a valid BOM or routing for the material being planned.
- Incorrect Material Master Data: The material master data may be incomplete or incorrect, leading to issues during the explosion process.
- Invalid Component Data: Components listed in the BOM may have errors, such as incorrect quantities or missing data.
- Status Issues: The production order or planned order may be in a status that does not allow for explosion.
- Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the production planning settings that prevent the explosion from occurring.
- Dependencies or Constraints: There may be dependencies or constraints in the BOM that are not being met.
Solutions:
- Check BOM and Routing: Ensure that the BOM and routing for the material are correctly defined and active. You can do this by using transaction codes like CS03 (Display BOM) and CA03 (Display Routing).
- Review Material Master Data: Verify that the material master data is complete and accurate. Check for any missing views or incorrect settings.
- Validate Component Data: Review the components listed in the BOM for any discrepancies or errors. Ensure that all components are valid and have the correct quantities.
- Check Order Status: Ensure that the production order or planned order is in a status that allows for explosion. If necessary, change the status to allow for processing.
- Configuration Review: Consult with your SAP configuration team to review the production planning settings and ensure they are correctly set up.
- Error Logs: Check the error logs for more detailed information about what caused the explosion to fail. This can provide insights into specific issues that need to be addressed.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
