• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QA195 - A routing was already assigned via the order ?

  The SAP error message QA195, which states "A routing was already assigned via the order," typically occurs in the context of quality management and production planning. This error indicates that a routing (a sequence of operations or steps required to produce a product) has already been assigned to a production order, and the system is preventing any further assignments to avoid conflicts or inconsistencies.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Assignment: The routing has already been assigned to the production order, and the system does not allow reassigning or modifying it without proper procedures.
  Order Status: The production order may be in a status that does not allow changes to the routing (e.g., released or in process).
  Configuration Settings: The system settings or configuration may restrict changes to routings once they are assigned to an order.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Routing: Review the production order to confirm the routing that is currently assigned. You can do this by navigating to the production order details in SAP.
  Modify the Order: If you need to change the routing, you may need to:
  
  Set the order to a status that allows changes (e.g., "Created" or "Partially Confirmed").
  Remove the existing routing if applicable, and then assign the new routing.
  
  
  Use Alternative Methods: If the routing needs to be changed frequently, consider using alternative methods such as creating a new production order with the desired routing.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific procedures related to your organization's configuration and policies regarding routing assignments.
