• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RM704 - No routings could be found to suit this selection criteria ?

  The SAP error message RM704 ("No routings could be found to suit this selection criteria") typically occurs when you are trying to create or process a production order, and the system cannot find any routing that matches the criteria specified in your selection. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when creating a production order, running MRP (Material Requirements Planning), or during other production-related transactions.
  Causes:
  
  
  Missing Routing: The most common cause is that there is no routing defined for the material you are trying to process. This could be due to the routing not being created or assigned to the material.
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria you are using may not match any existing routings. This could include incorrect plant, work center, or other parameters.
  
  
  Routing Status: The routing may exist but could be inactive or not valid for the specified plant or production version.
  
  
  Material Master Data Issues: The material master may not be properly configured to link to the routing, or the production version may not be set up correctly.
  
  
  Versioning Issues: If you are using production versions, the version may not be valid for the selected criteria.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Routing: Verify that a routing exists for the material in question. You can do this by navigating to the routing transaction (e.g., CA03) and checking if the routing is defined for the relevant material and plant.
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Ensure that the selection criteria you are using (such as plant, work center, and production version) are correct and match the routing data.
  
  
  Activate Routing: If the routing exists but is inactive, you may need to activate it or create a new routing that is valid for the required parameters.
  
  
  Check Material Master: Review the material master data (transaction MM03) to ensure that the routing is correctly assigned and that the production version is set up properly.
  
  
  Create or Update Routing: If no routing exists, you may need to create a new routing (transaction CA01) or update an existing one to ensure it meets the requirements for the production order.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on routing and production order processing.
