• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BOM007 - Only result-oriented and non-configurable order BOM distribution ?

  The SAP error message BOM007 ("Only result-oriented and non-configurable order BOM distribution") typically occurs in the context of Bill of Materials (BOM) distribution in SAP, particularly when dealing with production orders or configurable materials. This error indicates that the system is trying to distribute a BOM that is either not result-oriented or is a configurable BOM, which is not allowed in certain contexts.
  Cause:
  
  BOM Type: The error usually arises when the BOM being processed is of a type that does not support the distribution method being used. For example, if you are trying to distribute a configurable BOM or a BOM that is not marked as result-oriented.
  Order Type: The order type being used may not be compatible with the BOM distribution method. Result-oriented BOMs are typically used in production orders, while configurable BOMs are used in sales orders or configurable products.
  Configuration Settings: There may be settings in the configuration of the BOM or the order type that restrict the distribution of certain types of BOMs.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check BOM Type: Verify that the BOM you are trying to distribute is indeed a result-oriented BOM. You can do this by checking the BOM type in the BOM master data.
  Review Order Type: Ensure that the order type you are using is compatible with the BOM distribution. If you are using a configurable order, consider switching to a result-oriented order type if applicable.
  Adjust Configuration: If necessary, adjust the configuration settings in the SAP system to allow for the distribution of the BOM. This may involve changing settings in the material master or BOM configuration.
  Use Alternative Distribution Methods: If the BOM cannot be distributed as intended, consider using alternative methods for managing the BOM in your production or planning processes.
  
  Related Information:
  
  BOM Master Data: Familiarize yourself with the BOM master data and the different types of BOMs available in SAP (e.g., standard BOM, variant BOM, configurable BOM).
  Order Management: Understand the different order types in SAP and their implications for BOM distribution.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on BOM management and distribution processes.
  Transaction Codes: Use relevant transaction codes such as CS01 (Create BOM), CS02 (Change BOM), and CS03 (Display BOM) to manage BOMs effectively.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these aspects, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in production planning and BOM management.
