• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CP601 - No routing selected (please select). ?

  The SAP error message CP601 ("No routing selected (please select)") typically occurs in the context of production planning and control, particularly when working with production orders or when trying to create a process order. This error indicates that the system could not find a valid routing for the material or operation you are trying to process.
  Causes:
  
  
  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 master.
  
  
  Incorrect Material Master Data: The material master may not be correctly set up to reference the appropriate routing.
  
  
  Routing Not Active: The routing may exist but is not active or has been marked for deletion.
  
  
  Plant-Specific Issues: The routing may not be available for the specific plant or production version you are working with.
  
  
  Versioning Issues: If you are using different versions of the routing, the system may not be able to select the correct one.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Routing: Go to the routing transaction (e.g., CA03) and check if the routing exists for the material and the relevant plant. If it does not exist, you will need to create it.
  
  
  Assign Routing to Material: Ensure that the routing is assigned to the material in the material master (transaction MM02). Check the "Work Scheduling" view to see if the routing is linked.
  
  
  Activate Routing: If the routing exists but is inactive, you may need to activate it. This can be done in the routing transaction.
  
  
  Check Plant Assignment: Ensure that the routing is assigned to the correct plant. If you are working in a specific plant, make sure the routing is available for that plant.
  
  
  Review Production Version: If you are using production versions, ensure that the correct production version is selected and that it has the appropriate routing assigned.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the routing setup, consult your organization's documentation or SAP help resources for guidance on creating and managing routings.
