• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 29119 - For material &1, material status &2 '&3' does not allow BOM maintenance ?

  The SAP error message 29119 indicates that the material you are trying to maintain (in this case, a Bill of Materials or BOM) has a material status that restricts BOM maintenance. This is a common issue in SAP when the material is set to a status that does not permit changes to its BOM.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the material status assigned to the material (indicated by &2 and &3 in the error message) has been configured to prevent any modifications to the BOM. Material statuses can be set to restrict various activities, including the ability to create, change, or delete BOMs.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Status:
  
  Go to the material master record for the affected material (transaction code MM03).
  Check the "Status" tab to see the current material status.
  
  
  
  Change Material Status:
  
  If you have the necessary authorizations, you can change the material status to one that allows BOM maintenance. This can be done using transaction code MM02.
  Navigate to the "Status" tab and change the material status to one that permits BOM changes.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your SAP Administrator:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change the material status, you will need to consult with your SAP administrator or someone in your organization who has the authority to make these changes.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If the material status is set correctly but you still encounter issues, review the configuration settings for material statuses in your SAP system. This may involve checking the settings in the customizing transaction SPRO under:
  
  Logistics - General > Material Master > Basic Settings > Define Material Status.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check for Other Restrictions:
  
  Ensure that there are no other restrictions or settings that might be preventing BOM maintenance, such as the material being marked as obsolete or having other statuses that restrict changes.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to change material statuses and maintain BOMs.
