• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CU862 - Order BOM not allowed if no BOM explosion ?

  The SAP error message CU862 ("Order BOM not allowed if no BOM explosion") typically occurs in the context of production orders and bill of materials (BOM) management. This error indicates that the system is trying to process a production order that requires a BOM explosion, but the necessary conditions for the explosion are not met.
  Cause:
  
  BOM Not Defined: The BOM for the material in question may not be defined or may not be active.
  BOM Status: The BOM might be in a status that does not allow it to be exploded (e.g., inactive or deleted).
  Order Type: The order type being used may not be configured to allow BOM explosions.
  Material Master Settings: The material master record may not be set up correctly, particularly in relation to the BOM.
  Production Version: If a production version is required and not specified, the system may not be able to determine which BOM to use.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent the BOM from being exploded.
