• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_EXEC_SFO049 - Order &1 does not refer to a shop floor routing ?

  The SAP error message MPE_EXEC_SFO049 indicates that the order you are trying to process does not refer to a valid shop floor routing. This typically occurs in the context of production orders or process orders when the system expects a routing to be defined for the order but cannot find one.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Routing: The production order does not have an associated routing defined in the system.
  Incorrect Order Type: The order type may not be configured to use a routing.
  Routing Not Assigned: The material or product associated with the order may not have a routing assigned in the material master.
  Routing Deactivation: The routing may have been deactivated or deleted.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the production process or the order type.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Routing Assignment:
  
  Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and check if a routing is assigned to the material.
  If not, you may need to create or assign a routing using transaction code CA01 (Create Routing) or CA02 (Change Routing).
  
  
  
  Verify Order Type Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the order type in the customizing settings (transaction code SPRO).
  Ensure that the order type is set up to use routings.
  
  
  
  Create or Update Routing:
  
  If the routing does not exist, create a new routing for the material.
  If it exists but is not assigned correctly, update the routing assignment in the material master.
  
  
  
  Check for Deactivation:
  
  Ensure that the routing has not been deactivated. You can check this in the routing details.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
