• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPH_RTG055 - Alternative sequence can only refer to standard sequence '000000' ?

  The SAP error message PPH_RTG055 indicates that there is an issue with the alternative sequence in the production planning or routing process. Specifically, it states that the alternative sequence can only refer to the standard sequence '000000'. This error typically arises in the context of production routing where alternative sequences are defined for operations.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The alternative sequence is not correctly configured to reference the standard sequence. In SAP, alternative sequences should point to the standard sequence for proper execution.
  Missing Standard Sequence: The standard sequence '000000' may not be defined or may be missing in the routing.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the routing data or the way alternative sequences are set up in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Routing Configuration:
  
  Go to the routing transaction (e.g., CA03) and check the routing for the material in question.
  Ensure that the alternative sequence is correctly set up to reference the standard sequence '000000'.
  
  
  
  Define Standard Sequence:
  
  If the standard sequence '000000' does not exist, you may need to create it. This can be done in the routing transaction by defining the necessary operations and steps.
  
  
  
  Review Alternative Sequences:
  
  Ensure that all alternative sequences are correctly configured to point to the appropriate standard sequence. You can do this by reviewing the alternative sequences in the routing.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Run a consistency check on the routing data to identify any discrepancies or issues that may be causing the error.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on setting up alternative sequences and standard sequences.
