• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BOM623 - Target BOM & & is not changed due to its valid from date ?

  The SAP error message BOM623 indicates that a Bill of Materials (BOM) cannot be changed because the target BOM has a "valid from" date that prevents modifications. This typically occurs when you are trying to make changes to a BOM that is already in effect for a specific period, and the system restricts changes to maintain data integrity.
  Cause:
  
  Valid From Date: The target BOM has a "valid from" date that is in the past or is currently active, which means that the BOM is already in use for production or planning.
  BOM Status: The BOM may be locked or in a status that does not allow changes.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies or links to other objects (like production orders or purchase orders) that prevent changes to the BOM.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Valid From Date: Review the "valid from" date of the target BOM. If you need to make changes, you may need to create a new version of the BOM with a future "valid from" date.
  Create a New BOM: If changes are necessary, consider creating a new BOM with the required modifications and set the appropriate "valid from" date.
  Unlock BOM: If the BOM is locked, you may need to unlock it or change its status to allow modifications.
  Review Dependencies: Check for any dependencies that might be preventing changes. If there are linked production orders or other objects, you may need to address those first.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines for managing BOMs to ensure compliance with internal processes.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like CS02 (Change BOM) or CS03 (Display BOM) to view and manage BOMs.
  BOM Types: Understand the different types of BOMs (e.g., production BOM, sales BOM) and their specific rules regarding changes.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to BOMs in the system.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues or provide additional guidance related to BOM management.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP's support resources for further assistance.
