• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CU869 - Maintenance not possible, because order BOM is not selected ?

  The SAP error message CU869 ("Maintenance not possible, because order BOM is not selected") typically occurs in the context of Bill of Materials (BOM) management within the SAP system, particularly when working with production orders or maintenance orders. This error indicates that the system cannot proceed with the maintenance of a BOM because the relevant BOM for the order has not been selected or is not available.
  Cause:
  
  BOM Not Assigned: The production order or maintenance order does not have a BOM assigned to it.
  Incorrect Order Type: The order type being used may not be compatible with the BOM selection.
  BOM Status: The BOM may be inactive or not released for use.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent the BOM from being selected.
  Missing Data: Required data for the BOM or order may be missing or incorrectly entered.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BOM Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the BOM is correctly assigned to the production or maintenance order. You can do this by checking the order details in the SAP system.

  Verify BOM Status:
  
  Check the status of the BOM in the BOM master data. Ensure that it is active and released for use.
  If the BOM is not released, you will need to release it in the BOM management transaction (CS02 or CS03).
