  Go to transaction code C223 (for maintaining explosion profiles) or C201 (for maintaining BOMs).
  
  
  
  Select the Explosion Profile:
  
  Enter the explosion profile number that is causing the error.
  
  
  
  Maintain Validities:
  
  Check if there are any validities defined. If not, you will need to create valid entries.
  Define the validity period (start and end dates) and any other necessary conditions that apply to the explosion profile.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After entering the necessary information, save your changes.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Process:
  
  After maintaining the validities, re-run the process that triggered the error to see if it has been resolved.
