• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/RTG_APP017 - Specify routing ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/RTG_APP017 Specify routing typically occurs in the context of production planning or routing in SAP. This error indicates that the system requires a routing to be specified for a particular operation or process, but it has not been provided.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Routing: The most common cause is that the routing for the material or operation has not been defined in the system.
  Incorrect Material Master Data: The material master may not be correctly set up to reference the appropriate routing.
  Routing Not Assigned: The routing may exist but is not assigned to the specific production version or material.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the production planning module that prevent the routing from being recognized.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Routing: Verify if the routing exists for the material in question. You can do this by navigating to the routing transaction (e.g., CA03) and checking if the routing is defined.
  Assign Routing: If the routing exists but is not assigned, you may need to assign it to the material or production version using transaction code C223 (for production versions) or by updating the material master data.
  Create Routing: If no routing exists, you will need to create one using transaction code CA01. Ensure that all necessary operations and sequences are defined.
  Review Material Master: Check the material master data (transaction code MM03) to ensure that the correct routing is linked to the material.
  Check Configuration: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings in the production planning module to ensure that everything is set up correctly.
