  SAP Error Message: WI701 - No active plan version exists
  
  Cause:
  The error WI701 occurs when the system tries to access a work center or routing plan version that is not active or does not exist in the system. In SAP Production Planning (PP), routing or work center data is maintained with different versions, and one version must be set as active for the system to use it during production order processing or capacity planning.
  Common causes include:
  
  No routing or work center version has been created or maintained.
  The existing routing or work center versions are not set as active.
  The system is referencing a plan version that has been deleted or is inactive.
  Incorrect or missing assignment of the routing or work center version in the production order or master data.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WI701 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Routing Versions:
  
  Go to transaction CA02 (Change Routing) or CA03 (Display Routing).
  Verify if there is an active routing version for the material and plant.
  If no routing exists, create a routing using CA01.
  If routing versions exist but none is active, set the appropriate version as active.
  
  
  
  Check Work Center Versions:
  
  Use transaction CR02 (Change Work Center) or CR03 (Display Work Center).
  Verify if the work center has an active version.
  If not, create or activate a version.
  
  
  
  Activate the Plan Version:
  
  In routing or work center master data, ensure that the version you want to use is marked as active.
  Only one version can be active at a time for a given routing or work center.
  
  
  
  Check Production Order or Planning Data:
  
  Verify that the production order or planning run is referencing the correct routing/work center version.
  If necessary, update the order to use the active version.
  
  
  
  Re-run Planning or Order Creation:
  
  After activating the correct plan version, re-run the planning or order creation process.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Routing Versions: Routings can have multiple versions to reflect changes over time. Only one version can be active at a time.
