• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CCMM506 - Only equipment BOM with status AVLB can be changed ?

  The SAP error message CCMM506 indicates that you are trying to change a Bill of Materials (BOM) for equipment that is not in the correct status. Specifically, the message states that only equipment BOMs with the status AVLB (Available) can be modified. 
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to make changes to a BOM associated with equipment that is in a status other than AVLB. This could happen if the equipment is in a status such as TECO (Technically Completed), DLFL (Deletion Flag), or any other status that does not allow modifications.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that the equipment BOM is in the correct status before attempting to make changes. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check Equipment Status: 
  
  Navigate to the equipment master data in SAP and check the status of the equipment associated with the BOM.
  You can do this by using transaction code IE03 (Display Equipment) or IE02 (Change Equipment) to view the current status.
  
  
  
  Change Equipment Status:
  
  If the equipment is not in the AVLB status, you may need to change its status. This can typically be done using transaction code IE02.
  If the equipment is in a status like TECO, you may need to reverse the technical completion or change the status to AVLB if applicable.
  
  
  
  Review BOM Status:
  
  Ensure that the BOM itself is also in a status that allows changes. You can check this using transaction code CS03 (Display BOM) to see the status of the BOM.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of changing the equipment status, consult your organization's documentation or speak with a SAP functional consultant.
  
  
  
  Authorization:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to change the equipment status and BOM.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BOM Statuses: Familiarize yourself with the different BOM statuses in SAP and their implications for changes.
  Equipment Lifecycle: Understand the lifecycle of equipment in your organization, including when it can be modified or needs to be archived.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or updates related to this error message.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the CCMM506 error and successfully modify the equipment BOM.
