  Solution:
  
  
  Check Routing Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the routing for the relevant material is correctly defined in the system. You can do this by navigating to the routing transaction (e.g., CA01 for creating routing, CA02 for changing routing).
  Verify that the routing keys are correctly assigned to the operations in the routing.

  Validate Work Center Data:
  
  Ensure that the work centers used in the routing are correctly defined and active. You can check this using transaction CR01 or CR02.
