• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ACCGO/MCK_MAINT237 - BOM status is set as 'Active' ?

  The SAP error message /ACCGO/MCK_MAINT237 BOM status is set as 'Active' typically indicates that there is an issue related to the Bill of Materials (BOM) status in the SAP system. This error usually arises when trying to perform an operation on a BOM that is currently set to 'Active', but the operation requires the BOM to be in a different status (e.g., 'Inactive' or 'Blocked').
  Cause:
  
  BOM Status: The BOM is currently active, and the operation you are trying to perform (like changing, deleting, or archiving the BOM) is not allowed on an active BOM.
  System Configuration: There may be specific configurations or settings in the system that restrict certain operations on active BOMs.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to perform the operation on an active BOM.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Change BOM Status: If you need to perform an operation that requires the BOM to be inactive, you can change the status of the BOM to 'Inactive' or 'Blocked' using the appropriate transaction code (e.g., CS02 for changing BOM).
  
  Navigate to the BOM in question.
  Change the status to 'Inactive' or 'Blocked'.
  Save the changes and then try the operation again.
  
  
  
  Check User Permissions: Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to perform the operation on the BOM. If not, contact your SAP administrator to adjust the permissions.
