• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPEACT126 - No primary resource has been specified at &1 &2 ?

  The SAP error message PPEACT126 ("No primary resource has been specified at &1 &2") typically occurs in the context of production planning or process order management. This error indicates that a primary resource has not been defined for a specific operation or activity in a production order or process order.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Resource Assignment: The primary resource (such as a machine or work center) has not been assigned to the operation in the routing or production order.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the routing or the production order may be incomplete or incorrect, leading to the absence of a primary resource.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the master data related to the work center or resource that is supposed to be assigned.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Routing: 
  
  Go to the routing associated with the production order and ensure that a primary resource is assigned to each operation.
  You can do this by navigating to the routing in transaction code CA03 (Display Routing) and checking the operations.
  
  
  
  Update Production Order:
  
  If the routing is correct, check the production order (transaction code CO02 for changing production orders) to ensure that it is correctly referencing the routing and that the primary resource is specified.
  
  
  
  Work Center Configuration:
  
  Verify the configuration of the work center (transaction code CR01 for creating or CR02 for changing work centers) to ensure that it is set up correctly and that it has the necessary capacities and resources defined.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Ensure that all relevant master data (materials, work centers, routings) is correctly maintained and that there are no missing links.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Order: 
  
  If the issue persists, consider recreating the production order to ensure that it pulls the correct routing and resource assignments.
