  The SAP error message CC_ECH_EXT004 indicates that there is no Engineering Change Request (ECR) found for the specified Production Bill of Material (BOM). This error typically arises in the context of managing engineering changes in SAP, particularly when trying to link a BOM to an ECR.
  Cause:
  
  Missing ECR: The most common cause is that the Engineering Change Request has not been created or is not available in the system for the specified BOM.
