• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 9J895 - BOM & & must be activated first ?

  The SAP error message "9J895 BOM & & must be activated first" typically occurs when you are trying to use a Bill of Materials (BOM) that has not been activated in the system. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when creating production orders, sales orders, or during planning processes.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive BOM: The BOM you are trying to use is not activated. In SAP, BOMs must be activated before they can be utilized in production or planning processes.
  Versioning: If you are working with different versions of a BOM, the specific version you are trying to use may not be activated.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data related to the BOM, such as missing components or incorrect status.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Activate the BOM:
  
  Go to the BOM transaction (usually CS01 for creating a BOM, CS02 for changing, or CS03 for displaying).
  Check the status of the BOM. If it is inactive, you will need to activate it.
  You can activate the BOM by using the transaction CS02 (Change BOM) and then saving it. This should activate the BOM.
  
  
  
  Check BOM Status:
  
  Ensure that the BOM is in the correct status. You can check the status in the BOM overview screen.
  If the BOM is versioned, ensure that you are using the correct version that is activated.
  
  
  
  Review BOM Components:
  
  Ensure that all components of the BOM are correctly defined and active. If any component is inactive, it may cause issues with the BOM.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the activation process or the status of the BOM, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator.
