How To Fix CKBA023 - BOM and routing entries must be complete

SAP Error Message - Details

• 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</>

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CKBA023 - BOM and routing entries must be complete ?

  The SAP error message CKBA023 indicates that there are incomplete entries in the Bill of Materials (BOM) or routing for a material. This error typically arises during the process of creating or processing production orders, where the system requires complete and valid BOM and routing data to proceed.
  Cause:
  
  Incomplete BOM: The BOM for the material may be missing components, or the components may not be properly defined.
  Incomplete Routing: The routing for the material may be missing operations, or the operations may not be properly defined.
  Missing Validity Dates: The BOM or routing may not have valid dates set, making them inactive for the current period.
  Incorrect Status: The BOM or routing may be in a status that does not allow it to be used (e.g., marked for deletion).
  Material Master Issues: The material master record may not be properly set up to reference the BOM or routing.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BOM:
  
  Go to the BOM transaction (CS03) and check if all components are listed and correctly defined.
  Ensure that the BOM is active and has valid dates.
  If components are missing, add them to the BOM.
  
  
  
  Check Routing:
  
  Go to the routing transaction (CA03) and verify that all necessary operations are included.
  Ensure that the routing is active and has valid dates.
  If operations are missing, add them to the routing.
  
  
  
  Material Master:
  
  Check the material master (MM03) to ensure that it is correctly linked to the BOM and routing.
  Verify that the material type and status are appropriate for production.
  
  
  
  Check for Deletion Flags:
  
  Ensure that neither the BOM nor the routing has been flagged for deletion.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  Use transaction codes CS03 for BOM, CA03 for routing, and MM03 for material master to review and make necessary corrections.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files for additional guidance on BOM and routing setup.
