• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_INSTALLATION_MSG013 - Network effectivity not in range with BOM ?

  The SAP error message MPE_INSTALLATION_MSG013 indicates that there is a problem with network effectivity in relation to a Bill of Materials (BOM). This error typically arises in the context of production planning and execution, particularly when dealing with configurable materials or production orders that have specific effectivity dates.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the system detects that the network effectivity (the time period during which a particular configuration or BOM is valid) does not align with the effectivity dates defined in the BOM. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Incorrect Effectivity Dates: The effectivity dates for the BOM or the network might not be set correctly, leading to a mismatch.
  Missing Effectivity Records: There may be no effectivity records for the BOM or the network, causing the system to be unable to find a valid configuration.
  Configuration Issues: If the material is configurable, the configuration might not be valid for the specified time period.
  Data Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies in the master data related to the BOM or the network.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check BOM Effectivity Dates:
  
  Go to the BOM in the SAP system and verify the effectivity dates. Ensure that they cover the period you are trying to use the BOM for.
  
  
  
  Review Network Effectivity:
  
  Check the network or production order for its effectivity dates. Make sure that the network is valid for the same period as the BOM.
  
  
  
  Update or Create Effectivity Records:
  
  If necessary, update the effectivity records for the BOM or create new records that align with the required dates.
  
  
  
  Validate Configuration:
  
  If the material is configurable, ensure that the configuration settings are correct and that they match the effectivity dates.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Inconsistencies:
  
  Run consistency checks on the BOM and network data to identify any discrepancies that may need to be resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on managing effectivity in BOMs and networks.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like CS03 (Display BOM), C223 (Maintain BOM Effectivity), or CN22 (Display Network) to check and modify the relevant data.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address known issues or provide additional guidance on this error.
  User Forums: Consider visiting SAP community forums or user groups for insights from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
