• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IH017 - Material & does not have a BOM with relevant items ?

  The SAP error message IH017 indicates that a material does not have a Bill of Materials (BOM) with relevant items. This error typically occurs in the context of production planning or when trying to create a production order, where the system expects to find a BOM associated with the material being processed.
  Cause:
  
  Missing BOM: The most common cause is that the material in question does not have a BOM created in the system.
  Incorrect BOM Status: The BOM may exist but could be inactive or not valid for the plant or production version you are working with.
  Plant-Specific BOM: The BOM might not be assigned to the specific plant where the production order is being created.
  Material Type Restrictions: The material type may not be configured to allow BOMs.
  Versioning Issues: If the BOM is versioned, the version being referenced may not be the active one.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create or Update BOM:
  
  Check if a BOM exists for the material using transaction code CS03 (Display BOM). If it does not exist, create one using transaction code CS01 (Create BOM).
  Ensure that the BOM is created for the correct material, plant, and usage.
  
  
  
  Check BOM Status:
  
  Verify that the BOM is active and valid for the relevant plant and production version. You can do this in the BOM display transaction (CS03).
  
  
  
  Assign BOM to Plant:
  
  If the BOM exists but is not assigned to the correct plant, you may need to create a plant-specific BOM or copy the existing BOM to the required plant.
  
  
  
  Check Material Type:
  
  Ensure that the material type allows for BOMs. You can check this in the material master data using transaction code MM03.
  
  
  
  Review BOM Versions:
  
  If you are using BOM versions, ensure that the correct version is being referenced in your production order.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for any specific configurations or settings that may be affecting BOM creation and assignment.

  BOM Usage: Ensure that the BOM usage is appropriate for the context in which you are trying to use it (e.g., production, engineering, etc.).
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or bugs related to BOMs and the error IH017.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the IH017 error and ensure that the material has the necessary BOM for your production processes.
