  Missing Effectivity Data: The BOM item does not have the required effectivity data (like validity dates or conditions) defined in the system.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings for the BOM or the material may not be set up correctly to handle effectivity.
  Data Entry Errors: There may have been an oversight during data entry, leading to the omission of effectivity parameters.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BOM Item: 
  
  Go to the BOM transaction (e.g., CS03) and check the specific BOM item mentioned in the error message.
  Ensure that the effectivity parameters (like start and end dates) are correctly defined.
