When setting up a flightplan in the FMC, I try and enter the corresponding waypoint with the jetway and it gives me an error when entering the Jetway. I checked the Nav data and the jetway matches up with waypoints I'm trying to put it. I tried multiple routes all over north america and it seems to be the FMC's doing. Any info on what this might be?

Hi! You will need to be a bit more specific about your problem as I'm finding it quite difficult to figure out what you mean. I assume by jetway you mean airway? If so a good starting point on how to enter a flightplan in the fmc are the two tutorials. Go trough them carefully. You do not need to enter all waypoints of an airway into the fmc and waypoints do occasionally change and so do the restrictions to applied by the regulatory bodies to them. I've got the feeling you're inputting the navdata wrong

Cheers

Yeah, the nack is leaning what is the first nav point of the airway and any change fixes along it to a new airway and so on leading to your eventual transition/star. You can put in lots and lots of fixes, or using the airways correctly, only a few fixes along one or more airways.

An excellent program is Flight Sim Commander. Not only is it a good route planer, but has shows all the airways and fixes that you can use for planing. If you use the free demo version, it works for 30 minutes (then reload) and can use for flight planing. If you have a registered version,you can also save your plans for PMDG aircraft.

Some airways are one-way only - so check the charts (for example on skyvector.com)

Maybe you should give us the specific points of your problem (what airac, flight plan, airway - how you insert them)
