  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM020 - No other task list exists for material &. ?

    The SAP error message CM020 ("No other task list exists for material &.") typically occurs in the context of production planning and control when the system is unable to find a valid task list for a specific material. This can happen for various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for resolving the issue.

    Causes:

    1. Missing Task List: The most common cause is that there is no task list (routing) defined for the specified material in the system.
    2. Incorrect Material Type: The material may not be of a type that requires a task list, or it may not be set up correctly in the material master.
    3. Task List Status: The task list may exist but could be inactive or not assigned to the relevant plant or production version.
    4. Plant Assignment: The task list may not be assigned to the plant where the production order is being created.
    5. Versioning Issues: If the material has multiple versions, the system may not find the appropriate version of the task list.

    Solutions:

    1. Create or Update Task List:

      • Navigate to the task list creation transaction (e.g., CA01 for routing).
      • Ensure that a valid task list exists for the material in question.
      • If it does not exist, create a new task list and ensure it is correctly configured.
    2. Check Material Master:

      • Ensure that the material is assigned to the correct plant.
    3. Check Task List Status:

    5. Check Production Version:

      • If applicable, ensure that the production version is correctly defined and linked to the task list.
