  This error typically occurs during a migration or upgrade process, particularly when moving from an older version of SAP to a newer one or when migrating data from a legacy system. The specific causes can include:
  
  Incomplete Migration: The BOM data for the specified material and plant has not been fully migrated or converted to the new format required by the current SAP version.

  Verify BOM Data: Check the BOM data for the specified material and plant. Ensure that all required fields are filled out correctly and that there are no inconsistencies.
  Release BOM: If the BOM is in a status that prevents it from being used, try to release it manually using transaction codes like CS02 (Change BOM) or CS03 (Display BOM) to check its status.
  Re-run Migration: If the BOM was not converted, you may need to re-run the migration process for BOMs. Ensure that all necessary data is included in the migration.
