How To Fix C2242 - BOM for planned order &1 not valid for orders

C2242 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: C2 - Other messages production orders

• Message number: 242

• Message text: BOM for planned order &1 not valid for orders

What causes this issue?

The system tried to convert the planned order &V1& into a production/
process order. This planned order contains a BOM with BOM status &V2&
that does not have a use for orders.

System Response

The planned order is still converted into a production/process order. In
the log for the master data transfer, this message C2 242 appears as
default as an information message (type I).

How to fix this error?

If you want to convert planned orders into production/process orders,
maintain general BOMs for the planned orders that are also valid for
orders.
This message type can be set using transaction OPJB. If this message
does not appear in the log, maintain the type as initial (space). If the
message type is set to E (error), an error message is written to the
error log during conversion. During collective conversion, the planned
order is not converted.
If the system issues a message referring to error messages during
individual conversion, you must set the message type for message C2 195
in OPJB accordingly.

Procedure for System Administrators

Set message type: <DS:TRAN.OPJB>Execute function</>

C2242 - Details

• The SAP error message C2242 indicates that a Bill of Materials (BOM) is not valid for a planned order. This error typically arises when there is a mismatch between the planned order and the BOM configuration in the system. Here are the potential causes, solutions, and related information for this error:
  Causes:
  
  BOM Not Created or Active: The BOM for the material in question may not be created or may not be active for the specific plant or production version.
  Incorrect Validity Dates: The validity dates of the BOM may not cover the planned order's date. If the planned order is outside the validity period of the BOM, the system will throw this error.
  Missing Production Version: If the planned order is linked to a specific production version, and that version does not have an associated BOM, this error can occur.
  Material Type Issues: The material type of the planned order may not be compatible
