  The SAP error message PPE8112 indicates that a production process or a planned order is broken down due to an alternative routing or alternative process at a specific node in the production process. This typically occurs in the context of Production Planning and Execution (PP/PE) modules in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Alternative Routing: The error suggests that the system is trying to execute a production order or process that has an alternative routing defined, but the specified alternative is not available or is broken down.
  Resource Availability: The resources (machines, work centers) required for the alternative routing may not be available or may be in a state that prevents them from being used (e.g., maintenance, breakdown).
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the routing or production process that prevent the alternative from being executed correctly.
  Material Availability: The materials required for the alternative process may not be available, leading to the breakdown of the process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Alternative Routing: Review the alternative routing defined for the production order or process. Ensure that the alternative routing is correctly set up and that the necessary resources are available.
  Resource Status: Check the status of the work centers or machines involved in the alternative routing. If they are down for maintenance or other reasons, you may need to reschedule the production or use a different alternative.
  Material Availability: Verify that all materials required for the alternative routing are available in the required quantities. If not, arrange for the procurement of the necessary materials.
  Configuration Review: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings in the SAP system related to production planning and routing. Ensure that all settings are correct and aligned with the production process.
