  Use Standard Product Interface: To modify the BOM, navigate to the standard product interface in SAP. This typically involves using transaction codes like CS02 (Change BOM) or CS01 (Create BOM) but through the standard product management screens.
  Check BOM Status: Ensure that the BOM is not locked or in a status that prevents changes. You may need to check with your system administrator or BOM manager.
  Review User Permissions: If you believe you should have access to modify the BOM, check with your SAP security administrator to ensure you have the necessary authorizations.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to your organization's SAP documentation or guidelines regarding BOM management and standard products for specific procedures.
