• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CPCC021 - Object type BOM is required in the working environment ?

  The SAP error message CPCC021, which states "Object type BOM is required in the working environment," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Production Planning (PP) or Controlling (CO) modules, particularly when working with Bill of Materials (BOM) in a production environment.
  Cause:
  The error CPCC021 usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Missing BOM: The system cannot find a valid Bill of Materials (BOM) for the material you are trying to work with. This could be because the BOM has not been created or has been deleted.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The working environment may not be correctly configured to include the necessary object types, such as BOMs.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the BOM data.
  
  
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the master data or configuration that prevent the system from recognizing the BOM.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CPCC021 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check BOM Existence:
  
  Use transaction code CS03 to display the BOM for the material in question. Ensure that a valid BOM exists for the material and plant combination you are working with.
  
  
  
  Create or Update BOM:
  
  If the BOM does not exist, create it using transaction code CS01. If it exists but is not valid, consider updating it.
  
  
  
  Verify Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the working environment to ensure that BOMs are included as required object types. This may involve checking the settings in the relevant configuration transactions.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access BOM data. This may involve checking user roles and authorizations in transaction SU01.
