• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LB141 - Proportion or product unit & is being used in bills of material ?

  The SAP error message LB141 indicates that a proportion or product unit is being used in bills of material (BOM) and cannot be deleted or modified. This error typically arises when you attempt to change or delete a material that is referenced in a BOM, and SAP is preventing this action to maintain data integrity.
  
  Cause:
  
  Material in Use: The material you are trying to delete or modify is currently being used in one or more BOMs.
  Proportion or Product Unit: The specific unit of measure (UoM) or proportion you are trying to change is linked to existing BOMs, which prevents modifications.
