Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CPCL_VERS184 - Material &1 is for serialized production but the routing not ?

  The SAP error message CPCL_VERS184 indicates that there is a mismatch between the material's configuration for serialized production and the routing used in the production process. Specifically, it means that the material is set up to require serialization (i.e., each unit of the material must be tracked individually), but the routing does not support this requirement.
  Cause:
  
  Material Configuration: The material in question is configured for serialized production in the material master (specifically in the "Basic Data" or "Sales" views).
  Routing Configuration: The routing associated with the production order does not have the necessary steps or operations defined to handle serialized production. This could be due to missing serialization indicators or steps that do not account for individual tracking of serialized items.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and verify the settings in the relevant views (e.g., Basic Data, Sales, MRP).
  Ensure that the material is correctly set up for serialized production.
  
  
  
  Review Routing:
  
  Access the routing associated with the production order (transaction code CA03).
  Check if the routing has the necessary operations and indicators for serialized production.
  If the routing does not support serialization, you may need to modify it to include the necessary steps or create a new routing that accommodates serialized production.
  
  
  
  Adjust Production Order:
  
  If the production order is already created, you may need to delete and recreate it after making the necessary adjustments to the material and routing.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines on configuring materials and routings for serialized production.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Serialized Production: This is a process where each unit of a product is assigned a unique serial number for tracking purposes. This is common in industries where traceability is critical, such as pharmaceuticals, electronics, and automotive.
  Routing: In SAP, routing defines the sequence of operations required to produce a product. It includes details such as work centers, operation times, and any specific requirements for handling materials.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  MM03: Display Material Master
  CA03: Display Routing
  CO01: Create Production Order
  
  
  
  By ensuring that both the material and routing are correctly configured for serialized production, you should be able to resolve the CPCL_VERS184 error.
