• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CC168 - Revision level & is not supported (sequence check not possible) ?

  The SAP error message CC168, which states "Revision level & is not supported (sequence check not possible)," typically occurs in the context of production planning and control, particularly when dealing with production orders, bill of materials (BOM), or routing.
  Cause:
  
  
  Unsupported Revision Level: The error indicates that the system is trying to access a revision level of a BOM or routing that is not valid or not supported in the current context. This can happen if:
  
  The revision level specified does not exist in the database.
  The revision level is not active or has been deactivated.
  The configuration settings do not allow for the use of that particular revision level.
  
  
  
  Sequence Check Issues: The error also suggests that a sequence check cannot be performed, which may be due to:
  
  Missing or incorrect sequence numbers in the routing or BOM.
  Inconsistencies in the data that prevent the system from validating the sequence.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Revision Levels:
  
  Verify that the revision level you are trying to use is indeed defined in the system. You can do this by checking the BOM or routing in transaction codes like CS03 (Display BOM) or CA03 (Display Routing).
  Ensure that the revision level is active and has not been deactivated.
  
  
  
  Update BOM/Routing:
  
  If the revision level is not valid, you may need to create a new BOM or routing with the correct revision level or activate the existing one.
  Ensure that the BOM and routing are correctly linked to the material and that the correct version is being used in the production order.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration Settings:
  
  Review the configuration settings related to BOM and routing management to ensure that they allow for the use of revision levels.
  Check if there are any specific settings in the production order type that might restrict the use of certain revision levels.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Run consistency checks on your BOM and routing data to identify any discrepancies that might be causing the issue.
  Use transaction codes like C223 (Check BOM) or C223 (Check Routing) to identify and correct any inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help notes related to BOM and routing management for additional guidance on handling revision levels.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CS01 (Create BOM), CS02 (Change BOM), CA01 (Create Routing), and CA02 (Change Routing) for managing BOMs and routings.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. You can search for notes in the SAP Support Portal.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access and modify BOMs and routings, as lack of permissions can also lead to errors.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the CC168 error and implement the necessary solutions to resolve it.
