• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 29047 - BOM & & & is locked for changes with change number & ?

  The SAP error message 29047 indicates that a Bill of Materials (BOM) is locked for changes due to an active change number. This typically occurs when a BOM is being modified or is in a state where it cannot be changed because it is associated with a change management process.
  Cause:
  
  Active Change Number: The BOM is linked to a change number that is currently active. This means that the BOM is under a change management process and cannot be modified until the change number is either completed or deactivated.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent simultaneous changes to the same BOM by different users. If one user is editing the BOM, others will receive this error message.
  User Authorization: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the BOM while it is locked.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Change Number Status: Verify the status of the change number associated with the BOM. If it is still active, you may need to complete or deactivate it before making changes to the BOM.
  
  You can check the status of the change number in the change management transaction (e.g., transaction code CC01 for creating change numbers).
  
  
  
  Release the Change Number: If you have the necessary permissions, you can release or deactivate the change number to unlock the BOM for changes.
  
  Use transaction code CC02 to change the status of the change number.
  
  
  
  Wait for Lock Release: If another user is currently editing the BOM, you may need to wait until they finish their changes and the lock is released.
  
  
  Check User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the appropriate authorizations to make changes to the BOM. If not, contact your SAP administrator to grant the necessary permissions.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes:
  
  CS01: Create BOM
  CS02: Change BOM
  CS03: Display BOM
  CC01: Create Change Number
  CC02: Change Change Number
  CC03: Display Change Number
