  The SAP error message /PLMI/RTG_APP005 indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to create a routing in the system. This is a common issue in SAP environments where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role. Specifically, the user may not have the necessary permissions assigned to create or modify routings in the Production Planning (PP) module or the Logistics module.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check that failed and provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 to display the user profile.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and see if they include the necessary authorizations for routing creation.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user does not have the required authorizations, you will need to either:
  
  Modify an existing role to include the necessary authorizations.
  Create a new role that includes the required permissions for routing creation.
  
  
  The relevant authorization objects for routing creation typically include:
  
  C_RTG_AA (Routing: Authorization for Activity)
  C_RTG_AU (Routing: Authorization for Change)
  C_RTG_A (Routing: Authorization for Display)
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, you will need to contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After the necessary authorizations have been granted, log out and log back into the system to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Attempt to create the routing again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
