• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CP372 - Plan &1 &2 is a reference operation set ?

  The SAP error message CP372 indicates that the operation set you are trying to work with is a reference operation set. This typically occurs in the context of production planning and control, particularly when dealing with routing and operations in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error message CP372 is triggered when you attempt to perform an action (such as changing, deleting, or copying) on a reference operation set. A reference operation set is a template or a standard set of operations that can be used across multiple production processes. Since it serves as a reference, it is not meant to be modified directly.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Operation Set: Verify if the operation set you are trying to modify is indeed a reference operation set. You can do this by checking the configuration in the routing or production order.
  
  
  Create a Copy: If you need to make changes to the operation set, consider creating a copy of the reference operation set. You can then modify the copied version as needed. This is typically done using the "Copy" function in the routing or operation set management.
  
  
  Use the Correct Transaction: Ensure you are using the correct transaction code for the action you want to perform. For example, if you are trying to create or modify a routing, use the appropriate transaction codes like CA01 (Create Routing) or CA02 (Change Routing).
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on working with operation sets and routings.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the action you are attempting. Sometimes, restrictions can lead to errors.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CA01 (Create Routing), CA02 (Change Routing), CA03 (Display Routing), and CR01 (Create Reference Operation Set).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to this error message.
  Training and Documentation: Consider reviewing SAP training materials or documentation related to production planning and control to better understand how operation sets work.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in production planning.
