• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM504 - No bill of material for task list found with parameter effectivity ?

  The SAP error message CM504 ("No bill of material for task list found with parameter effectivity") typically occurs in the context of production planning and control, particularly when working with task lists and bills of material (BOMs). This error indicates that the system could not find a corresponding bill of material for the specified task list based on the effectivity parameters provided.
  Causes:
  
  Missing BOM: The most common cause is that there is no BOM defined for the material or task list you are trying to use.
  Effectivity Dates: The effectivity dates or parameters specified in the task list do not match any existing BOM. This can happen if the BOM is not valid for the specified date range.
  Incorrect Task List: The task list being referenced may not be correctly linked to the BOM or may not exist in the system.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the material master or BOM settings that prevent the system from finding the correct BOM.
  Plant or Storage Location: The BOM may not be available for the specific plant or storage location you are working with.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check BOM Existence: Verify that a BOM exists for the material in question. You can do this by using transaction code CS03 (Display BOM) and entering the relevant material and plant.
  Review Effectivity Dates: Ensure that the effectivity dates of the BOM cover the date range you are working with. If necessary, adjust the dates or create a new BOM with the correct effectivity.
  Validate Task List: Check the task list to ensure it is correctly configured and linked to the appropriate BOM. Use transaction code CA03 (Display Task List) to review the task list details.
  Check Material Master: Ensure that the material master data is correctly set up, including the relevant views for BOM and routing.
  Plant and Storage Location: Confirm that the BOM is valid for the specific plant and storage location you are using. If not, you may need to create a new BOM for that location.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on BOM and task list configuration.
