  The SAP error message /PLMI/RTG_RCA_SCO049 Synchronization without assigned routings is not possible typically occurs in the context of SAP's Production Planning (PP) or Logistics Execution (LE) modules, particularly when dealing with routing and synchronization processes.
  Cause:
  This error indicates that there is an attempt to synchronize data (such as production orders, work centers, or other related objects) without having any routings assigned to the relevant production or process orders. Routings are essential in SAP as they define the sequence of operations required to produce a product, including the work centers involved and the time required for each operation.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Routing Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the relevant production orders or process orders have routings assigned to them. You can do this by navigating to the order details in the SAP GUI and checking the routing tab.
  
  
  
  Create or Assign Routings:
  
  If no routing is assigned, you will need to create a routing for the material in question. This can be done using transaction codes such as CA01 (Create Routing) or CA02 (Change Routing).
  After creating the routing, ensure it is assigned to the relevant material master record.
  
  
  
  Verify Material Master Data:
  
  Check the material master data to ensure that the routing is correctly linked. You can use transaction code MM02 to modify the material master and check the relevant views.
  
  
  
  Check for Errors in Configuration:
  
  Sometimes, configuration issues in the system can lead to this error. Ensure that the configuration for routing and production processes is correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help notes related to routing and synchronization processes for any additional insights or specific steps that may be required for your version of SAP.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the synchronization process again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
