• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CPCL_VERS163 - BOM &1 is not a versioned material BOM ?

  The SAP error message CPCL_VERS163 indicates that the Bill of Materials (BOM) you are trying to access or manipulate is not a versioned material BOM. This typically occurs when you are attempting to perform operations that require a versioned BOM, but the BOM in question is not set up to support versions.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Versioned BOM: The BOM you are trying to work with is a standard BOM and does not have versioning enabled.
  Incorrect Configuration: The material master or BOM settings may not be configured to allow for versioning.
  Transaction Context: You may be using a transaction or function that specifically requires a versioned BOM, but the BOM you are referencing does not meet this requirement.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BOM Type: Verify if the BOM is indeed a versioned BOM. You can do this by checking the BOM details in the SAP system.
  
  Use transaction code CS03 (Display BOM) to view the BOM and check if it has versions.
  
  
  
  Create a Versioned BOM: If you need a versioned BOM, you can create one by:
  
  Using transaction code CS01 (Create BOM) and ensuring that you select the option for versioning.
  Specify the version number when creating the BOM.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration: If you need to enable versioning for existing BOMs, you may need to adjust the configuration settings in the material master or BOM settings.
  
  Check the material type settings in the configuration (transaction code SPRO) to ensure that versioning is allowed.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Transactions: Ensure that you are using the correct transactions that are compatible with non-versioned BOMs if you do not require versioning.
