• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FRMLINF119 - Material is not identical to header material &1 of existing BOM ?

  The SAP error message FRMLINF119 indicates that there is a mismatch between the material you are trying to use in a Bill of Materials (BOM) and the header material of an existing BOM. This typically occurs when you are attempting to create or modify a BOM and the material specified does not match the material defined in the BOM header.
  Cause:
  
  Material Mismatch: The material you are trying to add or modify in the BOM does not match the header material of the BOM. This can happen if you are trying to add components from a different material or if there is a typo in the material number.
  Incorrect BOM Usage: You might be trying to use a BOM that is not intended for the material you are working with.
  BOM Status: The BOM might be in a status that does not allow changes or additions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Material Numbers: Check the material number you are trying to use and ensure it matches the header material of the BOM. You can do this by navigating to the BOM in the SAP system and confirming the header material.
  Use the Correct BOM: Ensure that you are working with the correct BOM for the material you are trying to modify. If you need to create a BOM for a different material, you may need to create a new BOM instead of modifying an existing one.
  Check BOM Status: Ensure that the BOM is in a status that allows changes. If the BOM is locked or in a status that prevents modifications, you may need to change its status or unlock it.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the BOM structure or the materials involved, consult your organization's documentation or SAP help resources for guidance on BOM management.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like CS01 (Create BOM), CS02 (Change BOM), and CS03 (Display BOM) to manage BOMs in SAP.
  BOM Types: Be aware of different BOM types (e.g., production BOM, sales BOM) and ensure you are using the correct type for your material.
  Material Master Data: Check the material master data for both the header material and the components to ensure they are set up correctly.
  SAP Notes: Look for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to BOM management or this error message.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the FRMLINF119 error and successfully manage your BOMs in SAP.
