• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M3654 - Date of production version does not match alternative BOM ?

  The SAP error message M3654, "Date of production version does not match alternative BOM," typically occurs when there is a mismatch between the production version and the alternative Bill of Materials (BOM) in terms of their effective dates. This can happen in scenarios where you are trying to create or process a production order, and the system checks the validity of the BOM against the production version.
  Cause:
  
  Date Mismatch: The production version you are trying to use has a validity period that does not align with the validity period of the alternative BOM.

  Use Correct BOM: If you are using an alternative BOM, ensure that it is the correct one for the production version you are trying to use.
