Error message

System Response

Routing not found for the material.

How to fix this error?

No entries exist for the routing.
Create a new routing or use an existing one.
You must describe the BOM and the routing in full. If it is not
possible to create a new BOM or routing, you can define a production
version in the material master, thus creating the procurement
alternative. The actual particulars of the BOM and routing can then be
assigned to the production version at a later time.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CKBA037 - Routing for material & not found ?

  The SAP error message CKBA037 indicates that the system could not find a routing for the specified material. This error typically occurs during the costing process when the system attempts to access the routing information for a material that is required for cost calculation.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Routing: The most common cause is that the routing for the specified material has not been created or is not assigned.
  Incorrect Material Type: The material may not be of a type that requires a routing (e.g., non-manufactured materials).
  Plant Assignment: The routing may exist, but it is not assigned to the plant where the costing is being executed.
  Status of Routing: The routing may be inactive or not released for use.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent the routing from being found.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create or Assign Routing:
  
  Check if a routing exists for the material in the relevant plant. You can do this by navigating to the routing transaction (e.g., CA01 for creating a routing, CA02 for changing).
  If it does not exist, create a new routing for the material.
  If it exists but is not assigned to the correct plant, assign it accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check Material Type:
  
  Ensure that the material type is appropriate for having a routing. For example, raw materials may not require routings.
  
  
  
  Verify Plant Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the routing is assigned to the correct plant. You can check this in the routing details.
  
  
  
  Check Routing Status:
  
  Ensure that the routing is active and released. If it is in a draft or inactive status, it will not be available for costing.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If the routing should exist but is not being found, review the configuration settings in the system to ensure that everything is set up correctly.

  Transaction Codes:
  
  CA01: Create Routing
  CA02: Change Routing
  CA03: Display Routing
  CS03: Display Material BOM (to check if the BOM is correctly linked to the routing)
  
  
  
  Master Data: Ensure that the material master data is correctly maintained, including the views related to production and costing.
  
  
  Costing Run: If you are running a costing run, ensure that all necessary master data (materials, routings, BOMs) is in place before executing the run.
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for more detailed information on routings and costing processes.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the CKBA037 error and ensure that the routing for the material is correctly set up in the system.
