want to process on the result screen itself.

However, the material you entered is not used in the BOM. This may be
because the material was deleted when the order BOM was processed, for
example.

You also see this message if you have just processed the material
master record of a material that is not in the BOM (because the
material number is a SET/GET parameter).

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CX061 - Material '&' is not a component of the BOM ?

  The SAP error message CX061 indicates that the material specified (represented by '&') is not a component of the Bill of Materials (BOM) you are trying to work with. This error typically occurs when you are attempting to perform operations such as creating, changing, or displaying a BOM, and the system cannot find the specified material in the list of components for that BOM.
  Cause:
  
  Material Not Included in BOM: The most common cause is that the material you are referencing is simply not included in the BOM for the specified parent material.
  Incorrect BOM Usage: The BOM you are trying to access may not be the correct one for the material you are working with. BOMs can be defined for different usages (e.g., production, engineering).
  Incorrect Material Number: There may be a typo or error in the material number you are using, leading to the system not recognizing it.
  BOM Status: The BOM might be inactive or not released, which can prevent certain operations from being performed.
  Plant-Specific BOM: If you are working with plant-specific BOMs, ensure that the BOM exists for the specific plant you are referencing.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check BOM Components: Verify that the material is indeed listed as a component in the BOM. You can do this by using transaction code CS03 (Display BOM) and entering the parent material and BOM usage.
  Verify Material Number: Double-check the material number you are using for any typos or errors.
  Check BOM Status: Ensure that the BOM is active and released. You can check this in the BOM display transaction.
  Use Correct BOM Usage: Make sure you are using the correct BOM usage for your operation. Different usages may have different components.
  Plant-Specific Check: If applicable, ensure that you are checking the BOM for the correct plant. You can specify the plant in the BOM display transaction.
  Create or Update BOM: If the material is not part of the BOM and it should be, you may need to create or update the BOM to include the material.
