• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 29574 - BOM has been changed. Refresh the screen contents ?

  The SAP error message "29574 BOM has been changed. Refresh the screen contents" typically occurs when there is a change made to a Bill of Materials (BOM) while you are working in a transaction that involves that BOM. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when multiple users are accessing and modifying the same BOM simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Modifications: Another user or process has modified the BOM after you have loaded it into your session.
  Data Consistency: SAP requires that the data you are working with is consistent and up-to-date. If changes are detected, it prompts you to refresh to ensure you are working with the latest data.

  Refresh the Screen: The simplest solution is to refresh the screen. You can do this by:
  
  Pressing the F5 key on your keyboard.
  Clicking the refresh button in the SAP GUI.

  Reopen the Transaction: If refreshing does not resolve the issue, you may need to exit the transaction and reopen it to load the latest version of the BOM.
  
  
  Check for Changes: If you are aware of changes being made to the BOM, you may want to coordinate with other users to avoid conflicts.
  
  
  Locking Mechanism: If you are frequently encountering this issue, consider implementing a locking mechanism or a process to manage BOM changes more effectively.
