• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C2515 - BOM is not version-controlled ?

  The SAP error message C2515, which states "BOM is not version-controlled," typically occurs when you are trying to work with a Bill of Materials (BOM) that is not set up to use version control. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when creating or modifying a BOM in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  BOM Configuration: The BOM in question is not configured to use version control. This means that the system does not track different versions of the BOM, which is often necessary for managing changes over time.
  Material Type Settings: The material type associated with the BOM may not support version control.
  BOM Status: The BOM may be in a status that does not allow for versioning.
  User Authorization: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to create or modify version-controlled BOMs.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BOM Configuration:
  
  Go to the BOM master data and check if the BOM is set to be version-controlled. You can do this in transaction code CS01 (Create BOM) or CS02 (Change BOM).
  If it is not version-controlled, you may need to create a new BOM with version control enabled.
  
  
  
  Material Type Settings:
  
  Verify the material type settings in the configuration. You can check this in the customizing settings (transaction code SPRO) under:
  
  Logistics - General > Master Data > Material Master > Basic Settings > Define Material Types.
  
  
  Ensure that the material type allows for version-controlled BOMs.
  
  
  
  Create a Version-Controlled BOM:
  
  If you need to create a version-controlled BOM, ensure that you select the appropriate settings during the creation process. You can do this by selecting the "Version" checkbox when creating or changing the BOM.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to create or modify BOMs. This can be checked with your SAP security team or by reviewing the user roles assigned.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to BOM management and version control for additional guidance.
