• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CU860 - Order BOM and sales order settings not allowed ?

  The SAP error message CU860, which states "Order BOM and sales order settings not allowed," typically occurs when there is a mismatch or incorrect configuration related to the Bill of Materials (BOM) and sales order settings in the SAP system. This error is often encountered in the context of production planning and sales order management.

  Incorrect BOM Type: The error may arise if you are trying to use an Order BOM (a BOM specifically created for a production order) in a context where it is not allowed, such as in a sales order scenario.
  Sales Order Configuration: The sales order may be configured in a way that does not support the use of Order BOMs.

  Production Type: The production type for the material may not be compatible with the sales order settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check BOM Type: Ensure that you are using the correct type of BOM for your sales order. If you need to use a standard BOM instead of an Order BOM, make the necessary adjustments.
  Review Sales Order Settings: Verify the configuration of the sales order to ensure it allows for the use of the BOM type you are trying to implement.
  Material Master Review: Check the material master settings for the relevant material. Ensure that the BOM usage and production type are correctly configured.

  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific configuration settings related to BOMs and sales orders.
