• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_PLAN_ENG_SNPSHT012 - EBOM for matl &1, plant &2, and BOM usage &3 not consistent with snapshot ?

  The SAP error message MPE_PLAN_ENG_SNPSHT012 indicates that there is an inconsistency between the Engineering Bill of Materials (EBOM) for a specific material, plant, and BOM usage and the snapshot data in the system. This error typically arises during planning or when trying to execute certain transactions that involve BOMs.
  Cause:
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: The most common cause of this error is that the EBOM data has been changed (e.g., components added, removed, or modified) after the last snapshot was taken. The snapshot is a static representation of the BOM at a certain point in time, and any changes made after that will lead to inconsistencies.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the BOM or the material master data that lead to discrepancies.
  
  
  Missing or Incorrect Snapshots: If the snapshot data is missing or has not been updated correctly, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Update the Snapshot: The first step is to ensure that the snapshot is updated to reflect the current state of the EBOM. This can typically be done through the relevant transaction in SAP (e.g., using transaction codes like CS01, CS02, or CS03 to manage BOMs).
  
  
  Check BOM Changes: Review any recent changes made to the BOM for the specified material and plant. Ensure that all changes are correctly reflected in the system.
  
  
  Recreate the Snapshot: If the snapshot is outdated or corrupted, you may need to recreate it. This can involve running specific reports or transactions that refresh the snapshot data.
  
  
  Consistency Check: Use transaction CSBI (BOM Comparison) or similar tools to check for inconsistencies between the BOM and the snapshot. This can help identify specific discrepancies that need to be addressed.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to this error message for additional troubleshooting steps or specific instructions based on your SAP version.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CS01, CS02, CS03, CSBI, and MD04 for managing BOMs and checking material availability.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common problems.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to view and modify BOMs and snapshots.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the inconsistency indicated by the error message MPE_PLAN_ENG_SNPSHT012. If the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team for further assistance.
