• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_CM_EFFECTIVITY034 - BOM item effectivity is not within gross effectivity range ?

  The SAP error message MPE_CM_EFFECTIVITY034 indicates that there is an issue with the effectivity of a Bill of Materials (BOM) item. Specifically, it means that the effectivity date of the BOM item does not fall within the gross effectivity range defined for the parent material or assembly. This can occur in scenarios where you are trying to create or modify a BOM and the effectivity dates do not align correctly.
  Cause:
  
  
  Effectivity Dates Misalignment: The effectivity dates of the BOM item you are trying to use do not match the gross effectivity range of the parent material. This can happen if:
  
  The BOM item has a start date that is later than the end date of the gross effectivity range.
  The BOM item has an end date that is earlier than the start date of the gross effectivity range.
  
  
  
  Incorrect BOM Configuration: The BOM may not be configured correctly, leading to discrepancies in effectivity settings.
  
  
  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data of the materials involved, such as incorrect or missing effectivity settings.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Effectivity Dates: Review the effectivity dates of both the BOM item and the parent material. Ensure that the effectivity dates of the BOM item fall within the gross effectivity range of the parent material.
  
  
  Adjust BOM Item Effectivity: If the effectivity dates are incorrect, you may need to adjust the effectivity dates of the BOM item to ensure they align with the gross effectivity range.
  
  
  Review BOM Configuration: Ensure that the BOM is configured correctly. Check for any inconsistencies in the BOM structure or settings.
  
  
  Update Master Data: If there are issues with the master data, update the relevant material master records to ensure that effectivity settings are correct.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on managing BOM effectivity.
  
  
  Testing: After making adjustments, test the changes by attempting to create or modify the BOM again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Effectivity in BOMs: Effectivity in BOMs is used to manage different versions of products over time, allowing for changes in components based on production dates or other criteria.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CS01 (Create BOM), CS02 (Change BOM), and CS03 (Display BOM) to manage BOMs effectively.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to BOM effectivity issues, as they may provide additional insights or patches for known issues.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in BOM management.
