• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_PLAN_EXEC036 - No planning BOM found ?

  The SAP error message MPE_PLAN_EXEC036: No planning BOM found typically occurs in the context of production planning and material requirements planning (MRP) when the system is unable to find a valid Bill of Materials (BOM) for a specific material or product during the planning process. This can hinder the ability to execute production orders or plan materials effectively.
  Causes:
  
  Missing BOM: The most common cause is that there is no BOM created for the material in question. This can happen if the BOM has not been defined or has been deleted.
  Incorrect BOM Status: The BOM may exist but could be inactive or not valid for the specific plant or production version being used.
  Plant-Specific Issues: The BOM might be created for a different plant than the one being referenced in the planning process.
  Versioning Issues: If the BOM is version-controlled, the version being referenced may not be the correct one or may not be active.
  Material Master Data Issues: The material master data may not be correctly set up, leading to issues in BOM determination.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Create or Update BOM: Check if a BOM exists for the material. If not, create a new BOM using transaction code CS01. If it exists, ensure it is correctly configured and active.
  Check BOM Status: Use transaction code CS03 to display the BOM and verify its status. Ensure that it is marked as active and valid for the relevant plant and production version.
  Verify Plant Assignment: Ensure that the BOM is assigned to the correct plant. If necessary, create a plant-specific BOM.
  Check for Versioning: If your organization uses BOM versions, ensure that the correct version is being referenced in the planning process.
  Review Material Master Data: Use transaction code MM03 to check the material master data for the relevant material. Ensure that all necessary fields are filled out correctly, especially those related to BOM and MRP.
  Run MRP: After making the necessary changes, run the MRP process again to see if the error persists.
