• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_BOMBOS027 - Alternative bill of material &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message CM_BOMBOS027 indicates that the system is unable to find an alternative bill of material (BOM) for the specified material. This error typically occurs when you are trying to access or process a BOM that has not been defined in the system for the given material.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check BOM Configuration:
