• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CN361 - No items exist for the standard BOM ?

  The SAP error message CN361 ("No items exist for the standard BOM") typically occurs when you are trying to access a Bill of Materials (BOM) that does not have any items associated with it. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when creating a production order, a material requirement planning (MRP) run, or when trying to display a BOM.
