• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/RTG_APP030 - Routing is not locked ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/RTG_APP030 Routing is not locked typically occurs in the context of routing management within the SAP system, particularly when dealing with production planning and control (PP) or logistics. This error indicates that the routing you are trying to access or modify is not locked, which can lead to issues when multiple users or processes attempt to work with the same routing data simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  
  Routing Not Locked: The routing you are trying to edit or use is not currently locked by the system. This can happen if:
  
  Another user is currently editing the routing.
  The routing was not properly locked due to a system error or interruption.
  The locking mechanism is not functioning as expected.
  
  
  
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to lock the routing.
  
  
  System Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the SAP system that affect how routing locks are managed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Lock Status: Verify if another user is currently editing the routing. You can do this by checking the lock entries in transaction code SM12. If you find that another user has the routing locked, you may need to wait until they finish or coordinate with them.
  
  
  Manual Locking: If you have the necessary permissions, you can manually lock the routing using transaction code CA01 (Create Routing) or CA02 (Change Routing). Ensure that you are the only one accessing it during this time.
  
  
  User Permissions: Ensure that your user role has the necessary permissions to lock and edit routings. You may need to contact your SAP security administrator to verify and adjust your permissions.
  
  
  System Check: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to check for any system errors or configuration issues. This may involve:
  
  Reviewing system logs for any related errors.
  Consulting with your SAP Basis team to ensure that the locking mechanism is functioning correctly.
  
  
  
  Restart Session: Sometimes, simply logging out and back into the SAP system can resolve temporary issues related to session locks.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to routing and locking mechanisms for any specific guidance or updates.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CA01, CA02, CA03 (Display Routing), and SM12 (Display and Delete Lock Entries).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to routing locks.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to properly lock and unlock routings to avoid conflicts.
  
  If the problem continues after trying these solutions, it may be beneficial to escalate the issue to your SAP support team for further investigation.
