• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KO484 - Specify entries fully for bill of materials/routing ?

  The SAP error message KO484 ("Specify entries fully for bill of materials/routing") typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a production order, and the system requires more detailed information regarding the bill of materials (BOM) or routing that is not fully specified.
  Cause:
  This error can arise due to several reasons:
  
  Incomplete BOM or Routing: The BOM or routing you are trying to use may not be fully defined. This could mean that certain components or operations are missing.
  Incorrect Material Master Data: The material master data for the product may not be set up correctly, leading to missing links to the BOM or routing.
  Plant or Version Issues: The BOM or routing may not exist for the specific plant or version you are working with.
  Missing Validity Dates: The BOM or routing may not be valid for the date you are trying to create the production order.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the KO484 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check BOM and Routing:
  
  Go to the BOM transaction (CS03) and check if the BOM exists for the material and plant you are using. Ensure that all components are listed and valid.
  Similarly, check the routing (CA03) to ensure that all operations are defined and valid for the material and plant.
  
  
  
  Verify Material Master Data:
  
  Check the material master (MM03) to ensure that the material is correctly linked to the BOM and routing. Ensure that the appropriate views (e.g., MRP, Work Scheduling) are maintained.
  
  
  
  Check Validity Dates:
  
  Ensure that the BOM and routing are valid for the date you are trying to create the production order. You can check the validity dates in the BOM and routing transactions.
  
  
  
  Plant-Specific Data:
  
  Make sure that the BOM and routing are created for the specific plant you are working with. If they are not, you may need to create or copy them for the correct plant.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  Use transaction codes CS01 (Create BOM), CS02 (Change BOM), CA01 (Create Routing), and CA02 (Change Routing) to make necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration or setup, consult SAP documentation or your internal SAP support team for guidance.
