• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_CM_EFFECTIVITY084 - Material/BOM &1 can not be added as a component ?

  The SAP error message MPE_CM_EFFECTIVITY084 indicates that a specific material or Bill of Materials (BOM) cannot be added as a component in the context of a configuration or variant configuration scenario. This error typically arises in the context of using configurable materials in SAP, particularly when dealing with the configuration of products that have multiple variants.
  Causes:
  
  Material Status: The material you are trying to add may have a status that prevents it from being used in a BOM. For example, it could be marked as "blocked" or "inactive."
  BOM Type: The BOM type may not support the addition of the specified material. Certain BOM types have restrictions on the components that can be included.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings for the material may not allow for the addition of the specified component. This could be due to dependencies or constraints defined in the configuration profile.
  Material Master Data: The material master data for the component may be incomplete or incorrect, leading to issues when trying to add it to the BOM.
  BOM Usage: The BOM usage may not be compatible with the material you are trying to add. Different usages (e.g., production, sales) have different rules regarding which materials can be included.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Material Status: Verify the status of the material in the material master. Ensure that it is active and not blocked for use in BOMs.
  Review BOM Type: Ensure that the BOM type you are using allows for the addition of the material. You may need to create a different BOM type or adjust the existing one.
  Examine Configuration Settings: Review the configuration profile and dependencies for the material. Ensure that there are no constraints preventing the addition of the component.
  Correct Material Master Data: Check the material master data for completeness and accuracy. Make any necessary corrections to ensure that the material can be used in the BOM.
  Check BOM Usage: Ensure that the BOM usage is appropriate for the material you are trying to add. If necessary, create a new BOM with the correct usage.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as CS01 (Create BOM), CS02 (Change BOM), or CS03 (Display BOM) to manage BOMs.
  Material Master: Use transaction code MM03 to display the material master and check the status and other relevant data.
  Configuration Profiles: Review the configuration profiles using transaction code CU41 (Maintain Configuration Profile) to ensure that the settings are correct.
