• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FLT_DI022 - No bill of material exists ?

  The SAP error message FLT_DI022: No bill of material exists typically occurs when you are trying to perform an operation that requires a Bill of Material (BOM) for a specific material, but the system cannot find any BOM associated with that material. This can happen in various contexts, such as during production planning, material requirements planning, or when creating production orders.
  Cause:
  
  Missing BOM: The most common cause is that a BOM has not been created for the material in question.
  Incorrect Material: The material number you are using may be incorrect or not exist in the system.
  Plant-Specific BOM: The BOM may exist, but it is not assigned to the specific plant you are working with.
  BOM Status: The BOM may be inactive or not released for use.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the master data that prevent the system from finding the BOM.
  
  Solution:
  
  Create a BOM: If no BOM exists for the material, you will need to create one using transaction code CS01 (Create BOM).
  Check BOM Existence: Use transaction code CS03 (Display BOM) to check if a BOM exists for the material and plant combination you are working with.
  Verify Material Number: Ensure that you are using the correct material number and that it is active in the system.
  Check Plant Assignment: If the BOM exists, verify that it is assigned to the correct plant. You can do this in the BOM details.
  Review BOM Status: Ensure that the BOM is active and released. You can check the status in the BOM details.
  Consult with Master Data Team: If you suspect data inconsistencies, consult with your master data management team to ensure that all relevant data is correctly maintained.
