• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CUM/ORDER008 - You have not selected any operations. Order will not be created ?

  The SAP error message /CUM/ORDER008 indicates that you have not selected any operations when trying to create a production order or a similar order in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of production planning and control, particularly when working with the Capacity Requirements Planning (CRP) or Production Order Management modules.
  Cause:
  
  No Operations Defined: The most common cause of this error is that the routing or production version associated with the material does not have any operations defined. This means that there are no steps or tasks for the system to execute when creating the order.
  Incorrect Selection: You may have not selected the appropriate operations or routing when attempting to create the order.
  Routing Issues: The routing may not be correctly assigned to the material or may be inactive.
  Material Master Data: The material master data may not be set up correctly, leading to the absence of operations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Routing: 
  
  Go to the routing transaction (e.g., CA03) and check if the routing for the material is defined and active. Ensure that it contains the necessary operations.
  If the routing is missing, you may need to create or modify it using transaction CA01 (Create Routing) or CA02 (Change Routing).
  
  
  
  Verify Production Version:
  
  Ensure that the production version assigned to the material is correct and that it has operations defined. You can check this in transaction C223 (Maintain Production Versions).
  
  
  
  Select Operations:
  
  When creating the order, ensure that you are selecting the appropriate operations. If you are using a transaction that allows for multiple selections, make sure to check the boxes for the operations you want to include.
  
  
  
  Material Master Data:
  
  Check the material master data (transaction MM03) to ensure that the relevant views (such as MRP and Work Scheduling) are correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  If you are unsure about the routing or production version setup, consult your organization's documentation or SAP help resources for guidance on how to properly configure these elements.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  CA03: Display Routing
