  Missing EBOM: The primary cause of this error is that the system cannot find any Engineering Bill of Materials linked to the change record you are trying to access. This could be due to:
  
  The EBOM has not been created or assigned to the change record.
  The EBOM may have been deleted or is in a different status that makes it unavailable.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check EBOM Creation: Verify if the EBOM has been created for the change record. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., CS01 for creating EBOMs) and checking if the EBOM exists for the specified material and change record.
  
  
  
  Link EBOM to Change Record: If the EBOM does not exist, you may need to create it and ensure it is properly linked to the change record. This can involve:
  
  Creating a new EBOM if it does not exist.
  Associating the EBOM with the change record using the appropriate transaction (e.g., using transaction code CC01 for creating change records).
  
  
  
  Review Change Record Configuration: Ensure that the change record is correctly configured to reference the EBOM. Check the settings and parameters associated with the change record.
