  The SAP error message RM013 indicates that there is no routing defined for a specific material and production version in the system. This error typically occurs when you are trying to create a production order or perform a related operation that requires routing information, but the system cannot find the necessary routing data for the specified material and production version.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Routing: The routing for the specified material and production version has not been created or is not maintained in the system.
  Incorrect Production Version: The production version specified may not be valid or may not correspond to the routing that exists for the material.
  Material Master Data Issues: The material master data may not be correctly set up, leading to the absence of routing information.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the production planning module that prevent the routing from being recognized.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Routing: 
  
  Go to the routing transaction (e.g., CA03) and check if the routing exists for the specified material and production version.
  If it does not exist, you will need to create a new routing for the material.

  Verify Production Version:
  
  Check the production version in the material master (transaction MM03) to ensure it is correctly defined and linked to the appropriate routing.
  If necessary, create or modify the production version using transaction C223.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the material master data is complete and correctly configured. Check the relevant views (e.g., Basic Data, MRP, Work Scheduling) to ensure all necessary information is present.
