• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK229 - No routing could be determined for material & ?

  The SAP error message CK229 ("No routing could be determined for material &") typically occurs during the costing process when the system is unable to find a valid routing for a material. This can happen for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for resolving the issue.
  Causes:
  
  
  Missing Routing: The most common cause is that there is no routing defined for the material in question. Routings are necessary for the system to determine the production process and the associated costs.
  
  
  Incorrect Material Type: The material may not be of a type that requires a routing, or it may not be set up correctly in the system.
  
  
  Plant-Specific Issues: The routing may exist, but it might not be assigned to the specific plant where the costing is being executed.
  
  
  Status of the Routing: The routing might be inactive or not valid for the period in which the costing is being performed.
  
  
  Missing Production Version: If the material is configured to use production versions, and none are defined, the system will not be able to determine the routing.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Routing: Verify if a routing exists for the material. You can do this by navigating to the routing transaction (e.g., CA03) and checking if the routing is defined for the material and plant.
  
  
  Create or Update Routing: If no routing exists, you may need to create one using transaction CA01. If a routing exists but is not valid, you may need to update it or create a new one.
  
  
  Check Material Master: Ensure that the material master data is correctly set up. Check the material type and ensure it is appropriate for the production process.
  
  
  Verify Plant Assignment: Make sure that the routing is assigned to the correct plant. You can check this in the routing details.
  
  
  Check Production Versions: If applicable, ensure that production versions are defined for the material. You can check this using transaction C223.
  
  
  Review Validity Dates: Ensure that the routing is valid for the period in which you are trying to perform the costing. Check the validity dates in the routing.
