Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IH672 - No plant is allowed for group BOMs ?

  The SAP error message IH672 "No plant is allowed for group BOMs" typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a Bill of Materials (BOM) that is defined as a group BOM, but you have not specified a plant for it. Group BOMs are used to manage BOMs that can be shared across multiple plants, and they do not have a specific plant assignment.
  Cause:
  
  Group BOM Definition: The BOM you are working with is defined as a group BOM, which means it is not tied to a specific plant.
  Plant Assignment: The system expects a plant assignment for standard BOMs, but for group BOMs, this is not applicable.
  Incorrect Transaction: You might be using a transaction that requires a plant specification when working with a group BOM.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check BOM Type: Ensure that you are indeed working with a group BOM. You can check this in the BOM master data.
  Use the Correct Transaction: If you are trying to create or modify a group BOM, make sure you are using the appropriate transaction code (e.g., CS01 for creating BOMs, CS02 for changing BOMs) without specifying a plant.
  Review BOM Settings: If you need to create a plant-specific BOM, you should create a standard BOM instead of a group BOM. You can do this by specifying a plant during the creation process.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more details on how to work with group BOMs and the specific requirements for their creation and modification.
  
  Related Information:
  
  BOM Types: Understand the difference between group BOMs and plant-specific BOMs. Group BOMs are used for items that are common across multiple plants, while plant-specific BOMs are tailored for individual plants.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for BOM management, such as:
  
  CS01: Create BOM
  CS02: Change BOM
  CS03: Display BOM
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to BOM management and this specific error message.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP community forums for further assistance.
