• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM111 - No valid routing found. ?

  The SAP error message CM111: No valid routing found typically occurs in the context of production planning and control when the system is unable to find a valid routing for a material or product that is being processed. This can happen during various transactions, such as creating a production order, running MRP (Material Requirements Planning), or when trying to create a planned order.
  Causes of CM111 Error
  
  
  Missing Routing: The most common cause is that there is no routing defined for the material in question. This could be due to the routing not being created or not being assigned to the material.
  
  
  Incorrect Plant Assignment: The routing may exist, but it is not assigned to the plant where the production order is being created.
  
  
  Routing Status: The routing might be inactive or not valid for the current date. If the routing is marked as obsolete or has been deleted, it will not be found.
  
  
  Material Master Data Issues: The material master may not be correctly set up, or the relevant views (like the Work Scheduling view) may not be maintained.
  
  
  Versioning Issues: If there are multiple versions of the routing, the system may not be able to find the correct one based on the selection criteria.
  
  
  Solutions to CM111 Error
  
  
  Check Routing: Verify if a routing exists for the material in the relevant plant. You can do this by navigating to the routing transaction (e.g., CA03) and entering the material number 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, consider updating it or creating a new version.
  
  
  Check Plant Assignment: Ensure that the routing is assigned to the correct plant. You can check this in the routing details.
  
  
  Review Material Master: Check the material master data (transaction MM03) to ensure that the Work Scheduling view is properly maintained and that the routing is linked to the material.
  
  
  Check Validity Dates: Ensure that the routing is valid for the date you are trying to use it. If the routing is time-dependent, check the validity period.
  
  
  Consult with SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP documentation for further assistance.
