• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CBP036 - The MRP type is not used as a filter since BOM is not exploded ?

  The SAP error message CBP036 indicates that the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) type is not being used as a filter because the Bill of Materials (BOM) for the material in question has not been exploded. This typically occurs during the planning process when the system is trying to determine the requirements for a material but cannot do so because it lacks the necessary BOM information.
  Cause:
  
  BOM Not Maintained: The most common cause is that the BOM for the material has not been created or is not valid.
  BOM Not Active: The BOM might exist but is not active for the relevant plant or production version.
  MRP Type Configuration: The MRP type assigned to the material may not be configured correctly to handle the BOM explosion.
  Material Status: The material might be set to a status that prevents it from being planned (e.g., "Blocked" or "Inactive").
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters for the material may not be set correctly, leading to issues in the MRP run.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BOM: Verify if a BOM exists for the material in question. You can do this using transaction code CS03 (Display BOM).
  
  If no BOM exists, create one using transaction code CS01 (Create BOM).
  If a BOM exists but is not active, ensure it is activated for the relevant plant and production version.
  
  
  
  Review MRP Type: Check the MRP type assigned to the material using transaction code MM03 (Display Material).
  
  Ensure that the MRP type is appropriate for the material and that it is configured to allow BOM explosion.
  
  
  
  Material Status: Check the material status to ensure it is not blocked or inactive. You can do this in the material master record.
  
  
  Run MRP Again: After making the necessary changes, run the MRP process again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  Check Planning Parameters: Review the planning parameters for the material to ensure they are set correctly. This includes checking the MRP views in the material master.

  Transaction Codes:
  
  CS03: Display BOM
  CS01: Create BOM
  MM03: Display Material

  MRP Types: Familiarize yourself with different MRP types and their configurations in the system.
  BOM Structure: Understand the structure of BOMs and how they relate to MRP processes.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on MRP and BOM management.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the CBP036 error and ensure that the MRP process can utilize the BOM for planning purposes.
