• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FOX0096 - Explosion profile &1 is older than in the explosion ?

  The SAP error message FOX0096 indicates that there is a mismatch between the explosion profile version used in a bill of materials (BOM) and the version of the explosion profile that is currently active in the system. This typically occurs in the context of production planning and material requirements planning (MRP) when the system attempts to explode a BOM for a particular material.
  Cause:
  
  Version Mismatch: The explosion profile referenced in the BOM is an older version than the one currently defined in the system.

  Consistency Check:
