• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_BOMBOS062 - No procurement type found (material &1 plant &2); type X used ?

  The SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_BOMBOS062 indicates that there is no procurement type defined for a specific material in a particular plant. The message specifies that the system has defaulted to using procurement type 'X', which typically means that the system is unable to determine a valid procurement type for the material in the specified plant.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Procurement Type: The primary cause of this error is that the material does not have a defined procurement type in the material master data for the specified plant.
  Incorrect Material Master Data: The material master record may not be properly maintained, or the relevant views (like MRP or Purchasing) may not be filled out correctly.
  Plant-Specific Settings: The procurement type may not be set up for the specific plant where the material is being used.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent the procurement type from being recognized.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  Check the relevant views (especially MRP and Purchasing) for the material in the specified plant.
  Ensure that the procurement type is defined (e.g., 'E' for in-house production, 'F' for external procurement, etc.).
  
  
  
  Maintain Procurement Type:
  
  If the procurement type is missing, you can maintain it by using transaction code MM02 to update the material master.
  Navigate to the relevant views and enter the appropriate procurement type.
  
  
  
  Review Plant Settings:
  
  Ensure that the plant is correctly set up in the system and that it is active.
  Check if there are any specific settings or configurations that might affect the procurement type.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration:
  
  If you have access to the configuration settings, check the settings for material types and procurement types in the IMG (Implementation Guide).
  Ensure that the procurement types are correctly defined and assigned to the relevant material types.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the procurement process again to see if the error persists.
