• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_RTG_UI135 - OA &1, operation &2 exceeds the validity of BOM item &3 ?

  The SAP error message MPE_RTG_UI135 indicates that an operation in a routing exceeds the validity period of a Bill of Materials (BOM) item. This typically occurs in the context of production planning and control, where the system checks the validity of BOM items against the operations defined in the routing.
  Cause:
  
  Validity Period Mismatch: The operation you are trying to execute or the routing you are using has a date that falls outside the validity period of the BOM item. Each BOM item has a defined validity period (start and end dates), and if the operation is scheduled outside this range, the error will occur.
  Routing Configuration: The routing may be configured to use a BOM item that is no longer valid for the specified operation.
  Changes in BOM: If the BOM has been changed or updated, the new validity dates may not align with the operations defined in the routing.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check BOM Validity: Verify the validity dates of the BOM item in question. You can do this by navigating to the BOM in SAP and checking the validity period.
  Adjust Routing Dates: If the operation is scheduled for a date that exceeds the BOM item's validity, consider adjusting the operation's dates to fall within the valid range.
  Update BOM or Routing: If the BOM item is indeed valid but the routing is outdated, you may need to update the routing to reference the correct BOM item or adjust the validity dates of the BOM item if applicable.
  Consult Documentation: Review any documentation or change logs related to the BOM and routing to understand if there have been recent changes that could have caused this issue.
  Testing: After making adjustments, test the operation again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like CS03 (Display BOM) to check the BOM details and CA03 (Display Routing) to check the routing details.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to view and modify BOMs and routings in your SAP environment.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in production planning and control.
