• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CS_VERSN_BOM006 - Released BOM cannot be changed ?

  The SAP error message CS_VERSN_BOM006 indicates that you are trying to change a Bill of Materials (BOM) that has been released. In SAP, once a BOM is released, it is locked for changes to ensure data integrity and consistency in production planning and execution.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You attempt to modify a BOM that is in a released status.
  The BOM is being used in production or has been referenced in other processes, making it necessary to maintain its integrity.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you have a few options:
  
  
  Unrelease the BOM:
  
  If you need to make changes to the BOM, you can unrelease it first. This can typically be done using the transaction code CS02 (Change BOM) or CS03 (Display BOM) to navigate to the BOM and then use the option to unrelease it.
  Note that unrelease may require appropriate authorizations.
  
  
  
  Create a New Version:

  You can do this by using the transaction code CS01 (Create BOM) and specifying a new version number.
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that the BOM is not being used in any active production orders or other dependent processes. If it is, you may need to complete or cancel those processes before making changes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review your organization's policies regarding BOM changes. There may be specific procedures in place for handling BOM modifications.
