• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 29895 - Explosion type & not defined (please check your entry) ?

  The SAP error message "29895 Explosion type & not defined (please check your entry)" typically occurs in the context of production planning or material requirements planning (MRP) when the system is unable to find a defined explosion type for a specific operation or material. This error is often related to the configuration of the Bill of Materials (BOM) or the routing in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Undefined Explosion Type: The explosion type specified in the configuration is not defined in the system. This could happen if the explosion type was not set up correctly or if there was a typo in the entry.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the BOM or routing may not be properly maintained, leading to the system not recognizing the explosion type.
  Missing Master Data: The relevant master data (like BOM or routing) may not be created or may be incomplete.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Explosion Type: Verify the explosion type you are trying to use. Ensure that it is correctly defined in the system. You can check this in the configuration settings under the relevant module (e.g., Production Planning).
  Maintain Configuration: If the explosion type is not defined, you may need to create it. This can typically be done in the following path:
  
  SPRO ? Production ? Basic Data ? Bill of Material ? Define Explosion Types.
  
  
  Review BOM and Routing: Ensure that the BOM and routing for the material in question are correctly set up and that they reference the correct explosion type.
  Check for Typos: Ensure there are no typographical errors in the explosion type entry.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on how to define and manage explosion types.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like CS01 (Create BOM), CS02 (Change BOM), or CS03 (Display BOM) to manage BOMs and check their configurations.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view and modify the configuration settings related to explosion types.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these areas, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in production planning.
