• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_PLAN_EXEC037 - No released planning BOM found for phantom component &1 ?

  The SAP error message MPE_PLAN_EXEC037 indicates that the system could not find a released planning Bill of Materials (BOM) for a phantom component specified in the planning process. This typically occurs during production planning or when trying to execute a production order that involves a phantom item.
  Cause:
  
  Missing BOM: The most common cause is that there is no released BOM for the phantom component in the system. This can happen if the BOM has not been created, or if it has not been released for use in production.
  Incorrect Configuration: The phantom component may not be correctly configured in the system, or it may not be set up as a phantom item in the BOM.
  Versioning Issues: The BOM might exist but is not the correct version or is not marked as active.
  Plant-Specific Issues: The BOM may exist for a different plant or not be assigned to the plant where the production order is being executed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check BOM Existence: Verify that the BOM for the phantom component exists in the system. You can do this by using transaction code CS03 (Display BOM) and entering the relevant material number and plant.
  Release the BOM: If the BOM exists but is not released, you will need to release it. This can be done using transaction code CS02 (Change BOM) and ensuring that the BOM status is set to "Released."
  Check Configuration: Ensure that the phantom component is correctly configured in the BOM. It should be marked as a phantom item if it is intended to be treated as such.
  Verify Plant Assignment: Make sure that the BOM is assigned to the correct plant. If the BOM is plant-specific, it must be created for the plant where the production order is being processed.
  Check for Versioning: If there are multiple versions of the BOM, ensure that the correct version is being used in the production order.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Phantom Item: A phantom item is a type of component in a BOM that is not stocked as a separate inventory item. Instead, it is used in the production process and is typically consumed immediately.
  BOM Types: Familiarize yourself with different BOM types in SAP, such as single-level BOMs, multi-level BOMs, and variant BOMs, as they can affect how components are processed.
  Transaction Codes: 
  
  CS01: Create BOM
  CS02: Change BOM
  CS03: Display BOM
  CS11: Display BOM for a material
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on BOM management and production planning processes.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that the phantom component is properly accounted for in your production planning processes.
