  Causes of CX_MSR_TRC108
  
  
  Missing BOM: The most common cause is that the system cannot find a valid BOM for the material in question. This could be due to the BOM not being created or not being valid for the specific plant or production version.
  
  
  Incorrect Material Master Data: If the material master data is incomplete or incorrect, it can lead to issues in BOM determination. This includes missing or incorrect views in the material master.
  
  
  BOM Status: The BOM might be inactive or not valid for the required period. BOMs can have validity dates, and if the current date falls outside this range, the system will not be able to use it.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system related to BOM determination, such as incorrect settings in the configuration of the material type or BOM usage.
  
  
  Plant-Specific Settings: The BOM may not be assigned to the specific plant or storage location where the material is being processed.
