• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CP425 - The routing is not released for costing ?

  The SAP error message CP425, "The routing is not released for costing," typically occurs when you attempt to perform a costing run or valuation for a material that has a routing that is not in a released status. This can prevent the system from using the routing for cost calculations.
  Cause:
  
  Routing Status: The routing associated with the material is not released. In SAP, routings must be in a released status to be used for costing purposes.
  Change in Routing: If the routing has been changed but not released, the system will not allow costing to proceed.
  Missing Validity Period: The routing may not be valid for the period in which you are trying to perform the costing.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CP425 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Routing Status:
  
  Go to the transaction code CA03 (Display Routing) and enter the relevant material and plant.
  Check the status of the routing. If it is not released, you will need to release it.
  
  
  
  Release the Routing:
  
  If the routing is not released, you can release it using transaction code CA02 (Change Routing).
  Make the necessary changes if required and then release the routing by selecting the appropriate option.
  
  
  
  Check Validity:
  
  Ensure that the routing is valid for the period you are trying to cost. You can check the validity dates in the routing details.
