• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CPCL_VERS144 - BOM version &1 is selected for release externally. Save transaction. ?

  The SAP error message CPCL_VERS144 indicates that a Bill of Materials (BOM) version is marked for external release, which means it cannot be modified or saved in its current state. This is a common scenario in SAP when dealing with BOMs that are subject to version control and external release processes.
  Cause:
  
  BOM Version Status: The BOM version you are trying to modify is set to be released externally. This typically means that the BOM is in a state where it is locked for changes to ensure that external stakeholders (like suppliers or production partners) are working with a stable version.
  Authorization Issues: You may not have the necessary permissions to change a BOM that is marked for external release.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to prevent changes to BOMs that are released externally to maintain data integrity.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BOM Status: Verify the status of the BOM version. If it is indeed marked for external release, you will need to either:
  
  Change the status of the BOM to allow modifications (if you have the necessary permissions).
  Create a new version of the BOM that is not marked for external release.
  
  
  
  Release Process: If you need to make changes, consider following the proper release process:
  
  Unrelease the BOM version if your business process allows it.
  Make the necessary changes.
  Re-release the BOM version after modifications.
  
  
  
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the appropriate authorizations to modify BOMs. If not, contact your SAP administrator to request the necessary permissions.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to your organization's documentation or SAP help resources for specific procedures related to BOM management and external releases.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like CS02 (Change BOM) or CS03 (Display BOM) to view and manage BOMs.
  BOM Management: Familiarize yourself with the BOM management processes in your organization, including how to handle versions and releases.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to BOM version management.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP's official documentation for further assistance.
