• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COCM006 - No authorization to explode/display bill of material in plant & ?

  The SAP error message COCM006 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to explode or display a Bill of Materials (BOM) in a specific plant. This error typically arises when a user attempts to access BOM data without the appropriate permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user lacks the required authorization objects related to BOM access in the specified plant.
  User Role Configuration: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions to view or manipulate BOMs.
  Plant-Specific Restrictions: The authorization may be restricted to certain plants, and the user is trying to access a BOM in a plant where they do not have permissions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects for BOM access, such as:
  
  C_BOM_A (Authorization for BOM)
  C_BOM_D (Display BOM)
  C_BOM_E (Explode BOM)
  
  
  If these objects are missing, you may need to add them to the user's role.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Profiles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the authorization profiles to include the required objects for the user.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator to request the changes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect.
  Test the access again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects for BOM management in SAP. This includes understanding the fields and values that control access.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on authorization management and BOM handling.
  Security Audit: Regularly audit user roles and authorizations to ensure that users have the appropriate access levels for their job functions.
  
  If the issue persists after checking and updating authorizations, further investigation may be required, potentially involving SAP support or a deeper analysis of the system configuration.
