• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BOM606 - All items for the target BOM are being deleted ?

  The SAP error message BOM606 ("All items for the target BOM are being deleted") typically occurs when you are trying to delete a Bill of Materials (BOM) in SAP, and the system detects that all items associated with the target BOM are marked for deletion. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when you are attempting to delete a BOM that has no valid components left.
  Cause:
  
  Deletion Flag: All items in the BOM have been flagged for deletion. This means that the system recognizes that there are no valid components left in the BOM.
  BOM Status: The BOM may be in a status that does not allow for further modifications or deletions.
  Data Integrity: The system is enforcing data integrity rules, preventing the deletion of a BOM that has no valid components.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check BOM Components: Review the components of the BOM to see if they are indeed flagged for deletion. You can do this by navigating to the BOM in the SAP GUI and checking the status of each component.
  Remove Deletion Flags: If you find that the components are flagged for deletion but you still want to keep the BOM, you can remove the deletion flag from the components. This can be done in the BOM maintenance transaction (CS02).
  Delete BOM: If you intend to delete the BOM and all its components, ensure that you are following the correct procedure. You can use transaction CS02 to delete the BOM or use transaction CS01 to create a new BOM if needed.
  Check BOM Status: Ensure that the BOM is not in a status that prevents deletion. You may need to change the status or unlock the BOM if it is locked.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions related to your version of SAP, as the steps may vary slightly.
