• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FRMLDLG190 - Bill of material exists for input material &1 ?

  The SAP error message FRMLDLG190 indicates that a Bill of Material (BOM) exists for the input material specified by &1. This message typically arises in scenarios where you are trying to perform an operation that is not allowed because a BOM is already defined for the material in question.
  Cause:
  
  Existing BOM: The primary cause of this error is that there is already a BOM associated with the material you are trying to process. This could happen during various transactions, such as creating or changing a material master record, or when trying to delete a material that has an associated BOM.
  Incorrect Transaction: You might be trying to perform an operation that is not compatible with the existence of a BOM for that material.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data that are causing the system to throw this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check BOM: Verify if a BOM indeed exists for the material by using transaction code CS03 (Display BOM). If a BOM is present, you may need to decide whether to modify or delete it based on your business requirements.
  Delete or Change BOM: If the BOM is no longer needed, you can delete it using transaction code CS02 (Change BOM) or CS01 (Create BOM) to make necessary adjustments.
  Review Material Master: Ensure that the material master data is correctly set up and that the BOM is appropriate for the material.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help files for specific instructions related to BOM management and the material in question.
  Check User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the operation you are attempting.
  
  Related Information:
  
  BOM Types: Understand the different types of BOMs (e.g., single-level, multi-level) and how they relate to your materials.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CS01 (Create BOM), CS02 (Change BOM), CS03 (Display BOM), and CS05 (Delete BOM).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to BOM handling that might be relevant to your version of SAP.
  Training and Documentation: Consider training or consulting SAP documentation for best practices in managing BOMs and materials.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in materials management.
