• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_BOM_INVERSION008 - MBOM &1, usage &2 is not released ?

  The SAP error message MPE_BOM_INVERSION008 indicates that a Bill of Materials (BOM) for a specific material (MBOM) and usage is not released. This typically occurs when you attempt to perform operations that require a BOM to be in a released state, but it is still in a draft or unreleased state.
  Cause:
  
  BOM Not Released: The primary cause of this error is that the BOM for the specified material and usage has not been released. In SAP, BOMs must be released before they can be used in production or other processes.
  Incorrect Usage: The usage specified may not correspond to a released BOM.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, users may not have the necessary authorizations to view or release the BOM.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Release the BOM:
  
  Navigate to the BOM maintenance transaction (e.g., CS02 or CS01).
  Enter the material number and the usage.
  Check the status of the BOM. If it is not released, you can release it by selecting the appropriate option (usually found in the menu under "BOM" -> "Release").
  
  
  
  Check BOM Status:
  
  Ensure that the BOM is in the correct status. You can check the status in the BOM overview screen.
  If the BOM is in a draft state, you will need to release it before proceeding.
  
  
  
  Verify Usage:
  
  Ensure that you are using the correct BOM usage. Different usages may have different BOMs, and you need to ensure that the one you are trying to access is released.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  If you are unable to release the BOM, check with your SAP administrator to ensure you have the necessary authorizations to perform this action.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help files for more detailed instructions on BOM management and release processes.

  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  CS01: Create BOM
  CS02: Change BOM
  CS03: Display BOM

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide additional guidance related to BOM management.
