• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VL517 - No route schedule determination defined ?

  The SAP error message VL517 "No route schedule determination defined" typically occurs in the context of logistics and transportation management when the system is unable to determine a valid route for the delivery or shipment. This can happen during the creation of a delivery document or when trying to process a shipment.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Route Determination: The most common cause is that there is no route defined for the shipping point, delivery date, and destination combination in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The route determination configuration may not be set up correctly in the system.
  Master Data Issues: Missing or incorrect master data, such as transportation lanes, shipping points, or customer data, can lead to this error.
  Transportation Planning: If transportation planning is not set up or if the relevant planning data is missing, the system may not be able to determine a route.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Route Determination Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings in SAP (Transaction SPRO).
  Navigate to Logistics Execution > Transportation > Basic Transportation Functions > Route Determination.
  Ensure that the route determination is properly configured for the relevant shipping point and destination.
  
  
  
  Define Routes:
  
  Ensure that routes are defined in the system. You can do this by going to Logistics Execution > Transportation > Master Data > Routes.
