• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_RTG_UI132 - OA validity exceeds the validity of BOM item &1 ?

  The SAP error message MPE_RTG_UI132 indicates that there is a validity issue with a Bill of Materials (BOM) item in relation to the routing. Specifically, the error message states that the validity of the routing (or operation) exceeds the validity of the BOM item. This typically occurs when the routing is valid for a period that does not align with the validity of the BOM item.
  Cause:
  
  Validity Dates Mismatch: The routing has a validity period that extends beyond the validity period of the BOM item. For example, if the BOM item is only valid from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, but the routing is valid from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2024, this error will occur.
  Incorrect Configuration: The BOM or routing may have been incorrectly configured, leading to discrepancies in their validity periods.
  Changes in BOM or Routing: If changes were made to either the BOM or the routing after they were created, it could lead to this error if the validity periods were not updated accordingly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Validity Periods: Review the validity periods of both the BOM item and the routing. Ensure that the routing's validity does not exceed that of the BOM item.
  
  You can do this by navigating to the BOM and routing in SAP and checking their respective validity dates.
  
  
  
  Adjust Validity Dates: If the routing's validity period is indeed longer than that of the BOM item, you may need to adjust the routing's validity to match the BOM item or vice versa, depending on your business requirements.
  
  To change the validity period, you can use transaction codes like CS02 (Change BOM) and CA02 (Change Routing).
  
  
  
  Create New Versions: If the changes are significant, consider creating new versions of the BOM or routing that align with each other.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the changes, consult your organization's documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for guidance.
