• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CULL1852 - PP/DS PDS: Explosion without routing data not possible ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CULL1852 indicates that there is an issue with the Product Data Structure (PDS) in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) system, specifically in the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) module. The error message states that an explosion (i.e., the process of breaking down a product into its components for planning purposes) cannot occur because there is no routing data available for the PDS.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is the absence of routing information in the PDS for the product being processed. Routing data is essential for determining how a product is manufactured, including the sequence of operations, work centers, and the time required for each operation. Without this information, the system cannot perform the necessary calculations for production planning.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check PDS Configuration:
  
  Go to the PDS in the APO system and verify if routing data is defined for the relevant product. You can do this using transaction /SAPAPO/PDS or through the relevant transaction in the SAP GUI.
  
  
  
  Create or Update Routing:
  
  If routing data is missing, you need to create or update the routing for the product in the SAP ERP system (using transaction CA01 for creating a routing or CA02 for changing an existing routing).
  Ensure that the routing is correctly assigned to the PDS in APO.
  
  
  
  Transfer Routing Data to APO:
  
  After creating or updating the routing in the ERP system, ensure that the data is transferred to the APO system. This can be done using the CIF (Core Interface) or through the relevant data transfer methods.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Ensure that all relevant master data (materials, work centers, etc.) is correctly maintained and that there are no inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Planning Run:
  
  After ensuring that the routing data is available and correctly configured, re-run the planning run in the APO system to see if the error persists.
