• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BOM328 - Error during delete: of &1 records, &2 records were updated ?

  The SAP error message BOM328 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 instead of being deleted. This can happen due to various reasons, such as dependencies, authorizations, or data integrity issues.
  Cause:
  
  
  Dependencies: The BOM you are trying to delete may have dependencies, such as being linked to production orders, purchase orders, or other BOMs. If there are active references, the system will not allow the deletion of the BOM.
  
  
  Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the BOM records. This can lead to partial deletions or updates instead of complete deletions.
  
  
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data that prevent the deletion of certain records. This could be due to missing or incorrect data in related tables.
  
  
  Status of BOM: The BOM might be in a status that does not allow deletion, such as being marked as "in use" or "locked."
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Before attempting to delete a BOM, check for any existing dependencies. You can use transaction codes like CS03 (Display BOM) to see if the BOM is linked to any production orders or other objects.
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete BOM records. This can be checked with the help of your SAP security team.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the BOM data to identify any issues. You can use transaction codes like C223 (Check BOM) to identify inconsistencies.
  
  
  Change BOM Status: If the BOM is in a status that prevents deletion, consider changing its status to allow for deletion. This may involve unlocking the BOM or changing its status in the system.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like C201 (Change BOM) to attempt to delete the BOM again after resolving any issues.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to BOM management for any specific guidelines or troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CS01 (Create BOM), CS02 (Change BOM), CS03 (Display BOM), and C223 (Check BOM).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to BOM management that might address the error.
  Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance, providing them with the error message details and any steps you have already taken.
