VQ296 - Details

• SAP Error Message:
  VQ296 - No formulae are set for the order incoming quantity!
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP when the system tries to calculate or process the order incoming quantity for a production order or process order, but no formula has been maintained or assigned for this calculation. The system relies on formulae to determine quantities such as components required, scrap, or yield during order processing. If these formulae are missing or not properly maintained, the system cannot proceed and throws this error.
  Typical scenarios include:
  
  Missing or incomplete formula maintenance in the order type or routing.
  Formula for calculating the order incoming quantity is not defined in the master data.
  Incorrect or missing configuration in the production order or process order setup.
  The system expects a formula to convert or calculate quantities (e.g., from planned quantity to order incoming quantity), but none is found.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Formula Maintenance:
  
  Go to transaction CA02 (Change Routing) or CA03 (Display Routing)
