• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_PLAN_EXEC035 - Usage for engineering BOM has not been maintained ?

  The SAP error message MPE_PLAN_EXEC035, which states "Usage for engineering BOM has not been maintained," typically occurs in the context of using Engineering Bill of Materials (EBOM) in SAP. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a valid usage for the engineering BOM, which is necessary for processing or planning activities.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Usage Definition: The engineering BOM does not have a defined usage. In SAP, BOMs can have different usages (e.g., production, engineering, etc.), and if the usage for the engineering BOM is not maintained, the system cannot process it.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the BOM settings or the material master that prevent the usage from being recognized.
  Data Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies in the data related to the BOM or the material that is causing the system to not recognize the usage.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain BOM Usage:
  
  Go to the BOM maintenance transaction (e.g., CS01 for creating a BOM, CS02 for changing a BOM).
  Ensure that the usage for the engineering BOM is correctly defined. You can do this by checking the BOM header data and ensuring that the "Usage" field is filled in with the appropriate value (e.g., 1 for production, 2 for engineering, etc.).
  
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Verify the material master data for the relevant material to ensure that it is correctly set up to use the engineering BOM.
  Check the "BOM Usage" field in the material master to ensure it aligns with the BOM settings.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If you have access to the configuration settings, check the settings for BOM usage in the customizing (SPRO) to ensure that the engineering BOM is configured correctly.
  Ensure that the relevant settings for BOM types and usages are properly maintained.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for any specific notes or guidelines related to engineering BOMs and their usages.
  
  
  
  Contact Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BOM Types: Understand the different types of BOMs in SAP (e.g., production BOM, engineering BOM) and their respective usages.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CS01, CS02, CS03 (for BOM maintenance) and MM01, MM02 (for material master maintenance).
  SAP Notes: Search for SAP Notes related to BOM usage and error messages for additional troubleshooting steps or patches.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the MPE_PLAN_EXEC035 error and ensure that your engineering BOM is properly maintained for usage in SAP.
