• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BOM324 - Error during delete: of &1 records, &2 records were updated ?

  The SAP error message BOM324 typically occurs when there is an issue while trying to delete a Bill of Materials (BOM) record. The message indicates that while attempting to delete a certain number of records, some records were updated, which may prevent the deletion from being completed successfully.
  Cause:
  
  Data Integrity Issues: The records you are trying to delete may be linked to other data in the system, such as production orders, purchase orders, or other BOMs. If these links exist, the system may prevent deletion to maintain data integrity.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary permissions to delete certain BOM records.
  System Locking: The records may be locked by another user or process, preventing the deletion.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data that need to be resolved before deletion can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dependencies: Before attempting to delete a BOM, check if there are any dependent objects (like production orders or other BOMs) that reference the BOM you are trying to delete. You may need to delete or modify these dependencies first.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete BOM records. This can be checked in the user roles and profiles.
  Unlock Records: If the records are locked, you may need to wait for the lock to be released or contact the user who has locked the record to release it.
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the BOM data to identify and resolve any inconsistencies. This can often be done using transaction codes like CS15 (BOM where-used list) or CS02 (Change BOM) to see where the BOM is being used.
  Use Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like CS01 (Create BOM), CS02 (Change BOM), and CS03 (Display BOM) to manage BOM records and check their status.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant notes or patches that may address this specific error.
