• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W_CB372 - Enter an operation ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  W_CB372 - Enter an operation
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears when you are trying to save or process a production order, maintenance order, or a similar document in SAP, but the system detects that no operation has been entered in the order routing or operation overview. Operations are essential steps in the order that define the work to be done, the sequence, work centers, and times.
  In other words, the system expects at least one operation to be defined for the order, but none has been entered yet.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  Creating or changing a production or maintenance order.
  Saving an order without any operations defined.
  When the routing or task list assigned to the order does not contain any operations.
  Possibly when copying an order or creating a new order without referencing a routing.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter at least one operation:
  
  Go to the operations overview screen of the order.
  Add the required operations with appropriate details such as operation number, work center, control key, standard values (time), etc.
  Save the order again.
  
  
  
  Check the routing/task list:
  
  If the order is created with reference to a routing or task list, ensure that the routing/task list contains valid operations.
  If the routing is missing or incomplete, assign a correct routing or create one with operations.
  
  
  
  Use standard routing or copy from existing order:
  
  If you do not have a routing, create one or copy operations from an existing order or routing.
  
  
  
  Check user exits or custom validations:
  
  Sometimes, custom code or validations might enforce the presence of operations. Verify if any user exits or BAdIs are causing this message.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Message Class: W_CB372 is a warning message, so it might allow saving but warns that operations are missing.
  Operations define the sequence and work to be done; without them, the order cannot be properly executed or scheduled.
  This message helps maintain data integrity and ensures that orders are complete before release or execution.
  If you intentionally want to create an order without operations (rare case), check if system settings or customizations allow it.
