• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_BOMBOS011 - Composition is being generated ?

  The SAP error message CM_BOMBOS011, which states "Composition is being generated," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) or SAP Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) modules. This message indicates that the system is currently processing a composition, which may involve generating or updating a material's composition data.
  Cause:
  
  Ongoing Process: The error usually arises when a composition is being generated or updated in the background, and another process attempts to access or modify the same composition simultaneously.
  Locking Mechanism: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. If one user or process is working on a composition, other users or processes will receive this message until the first process is completed.
  Long Processing Time: If the composition generation takes longer than expected, users may encounter this message while waiting for the process to complete.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for a few moments and then try to access the composition again. The process may complete shortly.
  Check Background Jobs: If you have access, check the status of background jobs in transaction code SM37. Look for any jobs related to composition generation that may be running.
  Identify Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the relevant tables. If you find a lock that seems to be causing the issue, you may need to contact your SAP Basis team to resolve it.
  Review Logs: Check the application logs (transaction code SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
  System Performance: If this issue occurs frequently, it may be worth investigating system performance or optimizing the composition generation process to reduce processing time.
