  Check BOM Version: Verify that the BOM being used is indeed the correct version (PCS-ESE 2003). You can do this by checking the BOM details in the SAP system.
  Update Configuration: If the BOM is outdated or incorrect, update the configuration settings to point to the correct BOM version. This may involve changing settings in the PCS-ESE configuration.
  Recreate BOM: If the BOM is corrupted or not functioning as expected, consider recreating the BOM in the correct version.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to PCS-ESE and BOM management to ensure that all settings are correctly configured.
