• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_RTG_UI001 - Please select a routing ?

  The SAP error message MPE_RTG_UI001: "Please select a routing" typically occurs in the context of production planning or manufacturing processes when the system expects a routing to be selected but none has been provided. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when creating production orders, work orders, or during the planning process.
  Cause:
  
  No Routing Assigned: The material or product you are trying to work with does not have a routing assigned in the system.
  Routing Not Selected: The user may have not selected a routing from the available options.
  Routing Deactivation: The routing that was previously assigned may have been deactivated or deleted.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or select routings.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the production planning module that prevent routings from being displayed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Material Master: Ensure that the material you are working with has a routing assigned. You can do this by checking the material master data in transaction MM03.
  Select a Routing: If routings are available, make sure to select one from the list when prompted. If you are in a dialog where you need to choose a routing, ensure you are making a selection.
  Review Routing Data: Go to transaction CA03 (Display Routing) to check if the routing exists and is active. If it is not active, you may need to reactivate it or create a new routing.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and select routings. You may need to contact your SAP security team if you suspect authorization issues.
  Consult Configuration: If you suspect configuration issues, consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the production planning settings are correctly set up to allow for routing selection.
  Create a New Routing: If no routing exists for the material, you may need to create a new routing using transaction CA01 (Create Routing).
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CA01 (Create Routing), CA03 (Display Routing), and MM03 (Display Material).
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed guidance on routing and production planning.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to select and manage routings within the SAP system to avoid this error in the future.
