  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 29025 - You are not authorized to display this BOM ?

    The SAP error message 29025, which states "You are not authorized to display this BOM," typically occurs when a user attempts to access a Bill of Materials (BOM) without having the necessary authorizations. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:

    Cause:

    1. Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to view the BOM. This could be due to missing roles or permissions in the user's profile.
    2. BOM Status: The BOM might be in a status that restricts access, such as being locked or not released for viewing.
    3. Plant-Specific Authorization: The user may not have access to the specific plant or organizational unit associated with the BOM.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
      • Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions to view BOMs.
    2. Adjust Authorizations:

      • If you have the necessary administrative rights, you can add the required authorizations to the user's profile. This may involve assigning roles that include access to BOM-related transactions (e.g., CS03 for display BOM).
      • Ensure that the user has access to the relevant plant and other organizational units.
    3. Check BOM Status:

      • Verify the status of the BOM in question. If it is not released or is locked, you may need to change its status or consult with the person responsible for BOM management.
    4. Consult with Security Team:

      • If you do not have the necessary access to change authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required permissions.
    5. Training and Documentation:

      • Ensure that users are trained on the authorization process and understand how to request access if they encounter issues.
