• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CX114 - Routing for material '&' does not exist or cannot be exploded ?

  The SAP error message CX114 indicates that the system is unable to find a routing for a specific material, which is essential for production planning and execution. This error typically arises in the context of production orders, where the system needs to access the routing information to determine the sequence of operations required to manufacture a product.
  Causes of Error CX114
  
  
  Missing Routing: The most common cause is that the routing for the specified material does not exist in the system. This could be due to the routing not being created or not being assigned to the material.
  
  
  Incorrect Material Number: The material number specified in the error message may be incorrect or may not be valid in the system.
  
  
  Routing Not Active: The routing may exist but is not active or has been marked for deletion.
  
  
  Plant-Specific Routing: The routing may not be available for the specific plant where the production order is being created.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the production planning module that prevent the routing from being accessed.
  
  
  Solutions to Error CX114
  
  
  Check Routing Existence:
  
  Go to transaction code CA03 (Display Routing) and enter the material number to check if a routing exists for that material.
  If it does not exist, you will need to create a routing using transaction code CA01 (Create Routing).
  
  
  
  Verify Material Number:
  
  Ensure that the material number is correct and exists in the system. You can check this using transaction code MM03 (Display Material).
  
  
  
  Check Routing Status:
  
  If the routing exists, check its status to ensure it is active. You can do this in CA03. If it is inactive, you may need to activate it.
  
  
  
  Plant-Specific Routing:
  
  Ensure that the routing is assigned to the correct plant. If the routing is plant-specific, it must be created for the specific plant where the production order is being processed.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If the routing exists and is active, review the configuration settings in the production planning module to ensure everything is set up correctly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for further troubleshooting steps specific to your system configuration.
