• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CKBA - Message Pool for Development Class CKBA

• Message number: 023

• Message text: BOM and routing entries must be complete

What causes this issue?

You are attempting to create a procurement alternative for the process
category 'Production'. However, the entries for the
<DS:GLOS.bill_of_material>BOM</> and <DS:GLOS.routing>routing</> are
incomplete.

System Response

The procurement alternative cannot be created.

How to fix this error?

The entries for the BOM and routing must be complete. In order to
define a procurement alternative of the process category 'Production',
BOMs and routings must exist.
You must describe the BOM and the routing in full. If neither BOM nor
routing exist, create them.
<DS:TRAN.CS01>Create BOM for material</>
<DS:TRAN.CA01>Create routing for material</>
If this is not possible, you can define a
<DS:GLOS.production_version>production version</> in the material
master, thus creating a procurement alternative. The actual settings
for the BOM and routing can then be assigned to the production version
at a later time.
<DS:TRAN.MM02>Change material master</>
