  BOM Not Created: The most common reason for this error is that a BOM for the specified material has not been created in the system.
  Incorrect Material Number: The material number you are trying to access may be incorrect or does not exist in the database.
  BOM Status: The BOM might exist but could be in a status that prevents it from being accessed (e.g., inactive).
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary permissions to view or create BOMs for the specified material.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create a BOM:
  
  If the BOM does not exist, you will need to create it. You can do this using transaction code CS01 (Create BOM) in SAP.

  Check BOM Status:

  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or view BOMs. You may need to contact your SAP security administrator to verify your permissions.
  
  
  
  Use the Right Plant:
