• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C5609 - No valid BOM exists for material & plant & ?

  The SAP error message C5609 indicates that there is no valid Bill of Materials (BOM) for the specified material and plant combination. This error typically arises in scenarios where a BOM is required for production or planning processes, but the system cannot find one that meets the criteria.
  Cause:
  
  Missing BOM: The most common cause is that a BOM has not been created for the specified material in the specified plant.
  Incorrect Plant/Material: The material or plant specified in the transaction may be incorrect or misspelled.
  BOM Status: The BOM may exist but could be inactive or not valid for the specified plant.
  BOM Type: The BOM type may not be appropriate for the operation being performed (e.g., production vs. sales).
  Validity Dates: The BOM may have validity dates that do not include the current date, making it inactive for the current period.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create or Update BOM:
  
  If no BOM exists, create a new BOM for the material in the specified plant using transaction code CS01.
  If a BOM exists but is not valid, you may need to update it using transaction code CS02 or create a new version.
  
  
  
  Check BOM Status:
  
  Use transaction code CS03 to display the BOM and check its status. Ensure that it is marked as active and valid for the specified plant.
  
  
  
  Verify Material and Plant:
  
  Double-check the material number and plant code you are using in your transaction to ensure they are correct.
  
  
  
  Check Validity Dates:
  
  Ensure that the BOM's validity dates encompass the current date. If necessary, adjust the validity dates.
  
  
  
  BOM Type:
  
  Ensure that the BOM type is appropriate for the intended use. Different BOM types may be required for different processes (e.g., production, sales).
