• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_MES_RTG_MSG003 - Routing &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message MPE_MES_RTG_MSG003 indicates that the routing specified (in this case, &1) does not exist in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of manufacturing or production planning when the system is trying to access a routing that has not been defined or is not available for the material or operation being processed.
  Causes:
  
  Routing Not Created: The routing for the specified material has not been created in the system.
  Incorrect Routing Number: The routing number entered may be incorrect or misspelled.
  Routing Deleted: The routing may have been deleted or marked for deletion in the system.
  Plant-Specific Routing: The routing may exist, but it is not assigned to the specific plant or location you are working with.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the routing.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Routing Creation:
  
  Verify if the routing for the specified material exists by navigating to the routing transaction (e.g., CA03 - Display Routing).
  If it does not exist, create the routing using transaction CA01 (Create Routing).
  
  
  
  Verify Routing Number:
  
  Double-check the routing number entered in the transaction to ensure it is correct.
  Ensure that you are using the correct material and plant combination.
  
  
  
  Check for Deletion:

  Plant Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the routing is assigned to the correct plant. If the routing exists but is not assigned to the plant you are working with, you may need to create a new routing for that specific plant.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the routing. If not, contact your SAP security administrator to grant the required permissions.
