  Validity start date
  Validity end date
  Production version
  Other relevant effectivity parameters
  
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you are responsible for system configuration, check the settings related to BOM effectivity in the SAP configuration (SPRO). Ensure that the necessary parameters for effectivity are activated.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for specific details on how to set up effectivity in BOMs. This can provide guidance on what fields are required and how to fill them out correctly.
