• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_INSTALLATION_MSG012 - Released BOM not found ?

  The SAP error message MPE_INSTALLATION_MSG012 ("Released BOM not found") typically occurs in the context of Material Management (MM) or Production Planning (PP) when the system is unable to find a released Bill of Materials (BOM) for a specific material or product. This can happen during various processes, such as production order creation, material requirement planning, or when trying to access BOM data.
  Causes:
  
  BOM Not Created or Released: The BOM for the material in question has not been created or has not been released. A BOM must be in a released status to be used in production or planning processes.
  Incorrect Material or Plant: The material number or plant specified may be incorrect, leading to the system not finding the corresponding BOM.
  BOM Validity Period: The BOM may be valid only for a specific period, and the current date may fall outside this range.
  BOM Status: The BOM might be in a status that does not allow it to be used (e.g., it is marked for deletion).
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent the BOM from being accessed correctly.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check BOM Creation: Verify that the BOM for the material has been created and released. You can do this by using transaction code CS03 (Display BOM) to check the status of the BOM.
  Verify Material and Plant: Ensure that you are using the correct material number and plant code. You can check the material master data using transaction code MM03.
  Check Validity Dates: If the BOM has validity dates, ensure that the current date falls within the valid range. You can check this in the BOM details.
  Review BOM Status: Check if the BOM is marked for deletion or is in a status that prevents its use. If necessary, change the status to allow it to be used.
  Consult with Configuration Team: If you suspect configuration issues, consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the BOM settings are correct and that there are no issues with the BOM determination process.
