  The SAP error message CMX_POC_WI008: No control instructions found typically occurs in the context of SAP's Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or Supply Chain Management (SCM) modules, particularly when dealing with production orders, control instructions, or work instructions.

  Review Configuration: Ensure that the configuration settings for control instructions in the relevant module (like APO or SCM) are correctly set up. This may involve checking the settings in the customizing transaction (SPRO).

  Recreate Control Instructions: If control instructions are missing, you may need to recreate them. This can often be done through the relevant transaction or by running a specific program designed to generate control instructions.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and view control instructions. This may involve checking user roles and permissions in the system.
