  The SAP error message RMPS021 ("No process route was selected") typically occurs in the context of SAP Process Management or SAP Production Planning when the system is unable to determine a valid process route for a particular operation or production order. This can happen for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for resolving the issue.
  Causes:
  
  
  Missing Process Route: The most common cause is that there is no process route defined for the material or operation in question. This could be due to incorrect configuration or missing data.
  
  
  Incorrect Material Master Data: The material master may not have the necessary routing information or may not be linked to the correct routing.
  
  
  Routing Not Active: The routing may exist but is not active or not valid for the specific plant or production version.
  
  
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used to find the process route may not match any existing routes. This can happen if the criteria are too restrictive.
  
  
  Versioning Issues: If there are multiple versions of a routing, the system may not be able to select the correct one due to versioning issues.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Process Routes: Verify that a valid process route exists for the material in question. You can do this by navigating to the routing in the SAP system and ensuring it is correctly defined.
  
  
  Review 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 that all necessary information is filled out.
  
  
  Activate Routing: If the routing exists but is not active, you may need to activate it or create a new routing that is valid for the specific plant and production version.
  
  
  Adjust Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria used for finding the process route. Make sure they are not too restrictive and that they align with the available routes.
  
  
  Check for Version Conflicts: If there are multiple versions of a routing, ensure that the correct version is being referenced in the production order or process.
