How To Fix MPE_RTG_UI160 - Effectivity of operation &1 does not completely cover the filter

MPE_RTG_UI160 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: MPE_RTG_UI - Messages for Routing Maintenance

• Message number: 160

• Message text: Effectivity of operation &1 does not completely cover the filter

What causes this issue?

The effectivity range of the operation in question does not completely
cover the defined effectivity filter.

System Response

The system does not create the filter.

How to fix this error?

You want to change the routing for a specific effectivity range only.
When specifying this effectivity range, you must make sure that all
operations and operation activities are valid for the selected filter
interval. That is, all operations and operation activities must cover
the filter interval completely or they may also be valid for a larger
effectivity. Operations and operation activities that do not match the
entered effectivity range at all are not displayed.
Note that the same is true for the MBOM items. All MBOM items must cover
the filter interval completely or may also be valid for a larger
effectivity range. MBOM items with an effectivity range completely
outside the entered filter interval are not displayed at all.
<ZH>Example:
</>In the following example, the term <ZK>object </>represents either an
operation, operation activity, or a BOM item.
Filter effectivity: 20 - 30
Object1 = 20 - 30 (shown)
Object2 = 10 - 40 (shown)
Object3 = 1 - 10 (not shown)
Object4 = 20 - 41 (shown)
If there is an object with an effectivity range of 25 - 30, the filter
is not valid.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_RTG_UI160 - Effectivity of operation &1 does not completely cover the filter ?

  The SAP error message MPE_RTG_UI160 indicates that there is an issue with the effectivity of an operation not fully covering the filter criteria specified in the system. This typically occurs in the context of production planning, routing, or similar processes where operations are defined with specific effectivity dates or conditions.
  
  Cause:
  
  
  Effectivity Dates: The operation you are trying to access or use may have specific effectivity dates that do not align with the filter criteria you have set. For example, if the operation is only valid for a certain date range, and your filter is outside of that range, this error will occur.
  
  
  Filter Criteria: The filter criteria you are using may be too restrictive or not aligned with the available operations. This could include parameters like material, plant, or other attributes that do not match the defined operations.
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the master data or configuration settings that lead
