• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GHO_BO079 - Outside diameter should be equal to sum of inside diameter and thickness ?

  The SAP error message GHO_BO079 indicates a discrepancy in the dimensions of a component, specifically that the outside diameter (OD) should equal the sum of the inside diameter (ID) and twice the thickness (T) of the material. This error typically arises in the context of creating or modifying a bill of materials (BOM) or when working with engineering data in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the following condition is not met:
  [ \text{OD} \neq \text{ID} + 2 \times \text{T} ]
  This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect Data Entry: The user may have entered incorrect values for the inside diameter, outside diameter, or thickness.
  Design Changes: Changes in design specifications that were not updated in the SAP system.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system, it may not have been correctly formatted or validated.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the GHO_BO079 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Verify Dimensions:
  
  Check the values entered for the inside diameter, outside diameter, and thickness.
  Ensure that the values conform to the expected relationship: 
  [ \text{OD} = \text{ID} + 2 \times \text{T} ]
  
  
  
  Update Values:
  
  If any of the values are incorrect, update them to ensure they satisfy the equation.
  Make sure to save the changes after updating the values.
  
  
  
  Consult Design Specifications:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct dimensions, refer to the design specifications or consult with the engineering team.
  
  
  
  Check for Related BOMs:
  
  If the component is part of a larger assembly, ensure that all related BOMs and components are consistent with the updated dimensions.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, try to save or process the BOM again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more details on BOM management and engineering data.
  User Training: Ensure that users entering data into SAP are trained on the importance of accurate dimension entry.
  Validation Rules: Consider implementing validation rules in the SAP system to prevent incorrect data entry in the future.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the GHO_BO079 error and ensure that the dimensions of your components are correctly defined in the SAP system.
