How To Fix MPE_RTG_UI266 - Routing does not have at least one operation that covers all validities

MPE_RTG_UI266 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: MPE_RTG_UI - Messages for Routing Maintenance

• Message number: 266

• Message text: Routing does not have at least one operation that covers all validities

What causes this issue?

The routing header has an unrestricted parameter effectivity range -
shown by the * in the Effectivity column of the routing structure.
However, all the operations of the routing have restricted parameter
effectivity ranges. The parameter effectivity range of the routing
header must be completely covered by at least one operation otherwise
this would result in production orders being created with no operations,
which is not supported.

System Response

You can save the routing, however, when you trigger a release check or
try to release the routing, the system displays this error message and
you cannot release.

How to fix this error?

Two options are available to solve this issue. You can:
Create at least one operation that also has an unrestricted parameter
effectivity range.
Maintain a restricted parameter effectivity range for the routing header
that is relevant for release.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
