• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BOM624 - Material &1 is not an assembly in sales order &2 &3 ?

  The SAP error message BOM624 indicates that the material specified is not recognized as an assembly in the context of a sales order. This typically occurs when you are trying to process a sales order that includes a bill of materials (BOM) item, but the system does not recognize the material as an assembly that can be configured or exploded in the sales order.
  Cause:
  
  Material Type: The material in question may not be defined as an assembly in the material master. It should have the appropriate material type that allows it to be used as an assembly (e.g., FERT for finished goods).
  BOM Configuration: There may not be a BOM defined for the material in the system, or the BOM may not be valid for the sales order configuration.
  Sales Order Configuration: The sales order may not be set up correctly to include the assembly item, or the item may not be relevant for the specific sales order type.
  Status of the Material: The material might be inactive or not available for sales order processing.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master: Verify that the material is set up correctly in the material master. Ensure that it is defined as an assembly and has the correct material type.
  
  Transaction Code: MM03 (Display Material)
  
  
  
  Check BOM: Ensure that a valid BOM exists for the material. You can check this using:
  
  Transaction Code: CS03 (Display BOM)
  If no BOM exists, you may need to create one using CS01 (Create BOM).
  
  
  
  Sales Order Configuration: Review the sales order to ensure that the item is correctly configured. Check if the item category allows for assembly processing.
  
  Transaction Code: VA03 (Display Sales Order)
  
  
  
  Material Status: Check the status of the material to ensure it is active and available for sales order processing. You can do this in the material master or by checking the material availability.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, consult SAP documentation or your internal SAP support team for further troubleshooting steps.
