  The SAP error message CM_BOMBOS076 indicates that a Bill of Material (BOM) is locked, which prevents users from making changes or viewing the BOM details. This locking mechanism is typically in place to ensure data integrity while another user or process is working on the BOM.
  Cause:
  
  User Lock: Another user is currently editing the BOM, which locks it for other users.
  System Lock: The BOM may be locked due to a background job or a transaction that is currently processing.
  Transaction Error: An error in a previous transaction may have left the BOM in a locked state.
  Database Lock: There may be a database-level lock due to ongoing transactions.

  Release Locks: If you have the necessary authorizations, you can manually delete the lock entries in SM12. Be cautious with this approach, as it may disrupt the work of other users.
  Check Background Jobs: Use transaction code SM37 to check if there are any background jobs that might be locking the BOM. If you find any, you may need to wait for them to complete or contact the job owner.
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, it may be necessary to contact your SAP support team for further assistance.
