• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_PRODUCT_API007 - No bills of material ?

  The SAP error message COM_PRODUCT_API007: No bills of material typically occurs when you are trying to access or process a product that does not have an associated bill of materials (BOM) in the system. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when creating production orders, planning, or during product configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Missing BOM: The most common cause is that the product you are trying to work with does not have a BOM defined in the system.
  Incorrect Material Type: The material type may not be set up to allow BOMs.
  BOM Status: The BOM may exist but could be inactive or not valid for the plant or production version you are working with.
  Plant Assignment: The BOM may not be assigned to the specific plant you are trying to use it in.
  Authorization Issues: There may be authorization issues preventing access to the BOM data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create or Maintain BOM:
  
  Check if a BOM exists for the material in question. You can do this using transaction code CS03 (Display BOM) or CS01 (Create BOM).
  If no BOM exists, create one using CS01. Ensure that you assign it to the correct material and plant.
  
  
  
  Check BOM Status:
  
  Ensure that the BOM is active and valid for the relevant plant and production version. You can check this in the BOM details.
  
  
  
  Verify Material Type:
  
  Ensure that the material type of the product allows for BOMs. You can check this in the material master using transaction code MM03.
  
  
  
  Plant Assignment:
  
  Make sure that the BOM is assigned to the correct plant. If the BOM is plant-specific, it must be created for the specific plant you are working with.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view or create BOMs. If you suspect authorization issues, contact your SAP security team.
