• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CPCL_VERS022 - You require a material and a plant to assign an MBOM ?

  The SAP error message CPCL_VERS022 indicates that you are trying to assign a Manufacturing Bill of Materials (MBOM) without specifying both a material and a plant. This is a common issue when working with the configuration of MBOMs in SAP, particularly in the context of Production Planning and Control (PP).
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system requires both a material number and a plant to create or assign an MBOM. The MBOM is specific to a material and its production location (plant), and without these two pieces of information, the system cannot proceed with the assignment.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that you provide both the material number and the plant when attempting to assign the MBOM. Here are the steps you can follow:
  
  
  Check Input Fields: Ensure that you have entered both the material number and the plant in the relevant fields of the transaction you are using (e.g., in the transaction for creating or assigning MBOMs).
  
  
  Verify Material and Plant Existence:
  
  Make sure that the material you are trying to assign an MBOM to actually exists in the system. You can check this using transaction MM03 (Display Material).
  Ensure that the plant you are trying to use is valid for the material. You can check this in the material master data.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the correct transaction for assigning MBOMs. The typical transaction for this is CS01 (Create BOM) or CS02 (Change BOM).
  
  
  Check Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or assign MBOMs for the specified material and plant.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you are still facing issues, review the configuration settings related to MBOMs in the SAP system. This may involve checking the settings in the Production Planning module.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  CS01: Create BOM
  CS02: Change BOM
  CS03: Display BOM
  CS11: Display BOM for a material
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on MBOMs and their configuration.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to MBOM assignments.
  
  By ensuring that both the material and plant are correctly specified, you should be able to resolve the CPCL_VERS022 error and successfully assign the MBOM.
