• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CURTO1001 - Unique BOM selection not possible for material &1 (plant &2) ?

  The SAP error message CURTO1001, which states "Unique BOM selection not possible for material &1 (plant &2)," typically occurs when the system is unable to determine a unique Bill of Materials (BOM) for a given material in a specific plant. This can happen for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding a solution.
  Causes:
  
  Multiple BOMs: There may be multiple BOMs defined for the same material in the specified plant. The system cannot determine which BOM to use because it finds more than one valid option.
  BOM Status: The BOMs may have different statuses (e.g., active, inactive, or obsolete), leading to ambiguity in selection.
  Alternative BOMs: If alternative BOMs are defined, the system may not be able to select one uniquely.
  Plant-Specific BOMs: The BOM may not be plant-specific, or there may be issues with the plant assignment in the BOM configuration.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the material master or BOM settings.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check BOMs: Use transaction code CS03 (Display BOM) to check the BOMs available for the material in the specified plant. Ensure that there is only one active BOM or that the correct BOM is set as the default.
  Review BOM Status: Ensure that the BOMs are in the correct status (active) and that there are no obsolete BOMs causing confusion.
  Define Default BOM: If multiple BOMs are necessary, consider defining a default BOM for the material in the plant to avoid ambiguity.
  Check Alternative BOMs: If alternative BOMs are used, ensure that the system is configured to select the appropriate one based on the requirements.
  Material Master Configuration: Review the material master data to ensure that it is correctly configured for the BOM selection process.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific configuration settings related to BOMs and materials.
