  The SAP error message COM_PME_PARSER080 indicates that there is a history requirement for a Bill of Materials (BOM) in the system, and it requires a change number to be entered. This typically occurs when you are trying to make changes to a BOM that is subject to version control or historical tracking.
  Cause:
  
  Change Management: The BOM is set up to require a change number for any modifications. This is often part of a change management process to ensure that all changes are tracked and documented.
  Configuration Settings: The BOM may be configured to require a change number due to specific settings in the material master or BOM configuration.
  Historical Data: The system is designed to maintain historical data for BOMs, which necessitates the use of change numbers to track revisions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to enter a valid change number when attempting to modify the BOM. Here are the steps you can follow:

  Check BOM Configuration: If you believe that the BOM should not require a change number, check the configuration settings in the material master or BOM settings to see if the requirement can be modified.
