• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK269 - Usage & for finding alternative BOMs is not available ?

  The SAP error message CK269, which states "Usage & for finding alternative BOMs is not available," typically occurs in the context of Bill of Materials (BOM) processing in SAP. This error indicates that the system is unable to find alternative BOMs for a specific usage type.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Alternative BOMs: The primary cause of this error is that there are no alternative BOMs defined for the specified usage in the system.
  Incorrect Usage Type: The usage type specified in the BOM or during the transaction may not be valid or may not have any associated alternative BOMs.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the BOM settings or in the material master data that prevent the system from retrieving alternative BOMs.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the alternative BOMs.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BOM Configuration:
  
  Go to the BOM transaction (CS02 or CS03) and check if alternative BOMs are defined for the material in question.
  Ensure that the usage type is correctly specified and that there are alternative BOMs associated with it.

  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Check the material master data (transaction MM03) to ensure that the material is correctly configured and that the BOM usage is set up properly.
