  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CX141 - Selected BOMs have been fixed ?

    The SAP error message CX141, which states "Selected BOMs have been fixed," typically occurs in the context of Bill of Materials (BOM) management. This error indicates that the BOMs you are trying to work with have been marked as fixed, meaning they cannot be changed or modified in the current context.

    Cause:

    1. Fixed BOM Status: The BOMs you are trying to edit or use are set to a fixed status. This can happen if the BOM is locked for changes due to various reasons, such as being in use in production or having been marked as fixed by a user or process.
    2. Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to modify the BOMs, leading to this error.
    3. System Configuration: Certain configurations in the SAP system may enforce BOMs to be fixed under specific conditions, such as during a production run or when certain parameters are set.

    Solution:

    1. Check BOM Status: Verify the status of the BOMs in question. You can do this by navigating to the BOM management transaction (e.g., CS03 for display) and checking if the BOM is indeed marked as fixed.
    2. Unlock BOM: If you have the necessary permissions, you may need to unlock the BOM. This can typically be done by changing the status of the BOM in the BOM management transaction.
    3. Review Authorizations: Ensure that you have the appropriate authorizations to modify the BOM. If not, contact your SAP security administrator to request the necessary permissions.
    4. Consult with Production: If the BOM is fixed due to production reasons, consult with the production team to understand if it can be temporarily unlocked or if changes can be made at a later time.
    5. System Configuration Review: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to review the system configuration or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team to understand why the BOMs are fixed and if any changes are needed in the configuration.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CS01 (Create BOM), CS02 (Change BOM), and CS03 (Display BOM).
    • Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help files related to BOM management for more detailed information on BOM statuses and handling.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.

    If the problem continues after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to reach out to SAP support or your internal SAP support team for further assistance.
