• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_PLAN_RTG_VERS057 - Operations can have no splitting or overlapping in rework routings ?

  The SAP error message MPE_PLAN_RTG_VERS057 indicates that there is an issue with the routing in a production order or a planned order, specifically related to rework routings. This error occurs when the system detects that operations within a routing are either overlapping or splitting, which is not allowed in the context of rework routings.
  Cause:
  
  
  Overlapping Operations: This occurs when two or more operations are scheduled to occur at the same time on the same resource. For example, if Operation A is scheduled from 10:00 to 12:00 and Operation B is also scheduled from 11:00 to 13:00 on the same machine, this will trigger the error.
  
  
  Splitting Operations: This happens when an operation is divided into multiple segments that are not continuous. For instance, if an operation is defined to run from 10:00 to 12:00 and then again from 14:00 to 16:00, this would also cause the error.
  
  
  Incorrect Routing Configuration: The routing may not be set up correctly, leading to conflicts in operation scheduling.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Operations: Check the operations defined in the routing for the production order or planned order. Ensure that there are no overlapping times for operations on the same resource.
  
  
  Adjust Scheduling: If you find overlapping operations, adjust the scheduling of the operations so that they do not conflict. This may involve changing the start and end times of operations or reassigning operations to different resources.
  
  
  Check Routing Configuration: Ensure that the routing is correctly configured. If necessary, modify the routing to ensure that operations are continuous and do not split.
  
  
  Use Alternative Resources: If overlapping is unavoidable due to resource constraints, consider using alternative resources or machines to separate the operations.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on configuring rework routings and handling operations.
