• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_CM_EFFECTIVITY073 - Effectivity type of BOM doesn't match with Effectivity type of Source BOM ?

  The SAP error message MPE_CM_EFFECTIVITY073 indicates that there is a mismatch between the effectivity type of a Bill of Materials (BOM) and the effectivity type of the source BOM. This typically occurs in scenarios where you are trying to create or modify a BOM that references another BOM, and the effectivity types do not align.
  Cause:
  
  Effectivity Type Mismatch: The BOM you are trying to create or modify has a different effectivity type than the source BOM. Effectivity types can include options like "valid from/to dates," "status," or "versioning."
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings in the system may not be set up correctly, leading to discrepancies in how effectivity types are defined or interpreted.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be errors in the data entry process, such as incorrect selection of BOMs or effectivity types.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Effectivity Types: Verify the effectivity type of both the BOM you are working on and the source BOM. Ensure they match. You can do this by navigating to the BOM details in SAP and checking the effectivity settings.
  Adjust BOM Settings: If there is a mismatch, you may need to adjust the effectivity type of either the BOM you are creating or the source BOM to ensure they are consistent.
  Review Configuration: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings related to BOMs and effectivity types in your SAP system. Ensure that they are set up correctly according to your business requirements.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on effectivity types and BOM management.
  Seek Help from SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
