Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_PLAN_MFG_SUB011 - API does not support non-versioned BOMs ?

  The SAP error message MPE_PLAN_MFG_SUB011 indicates that the API you are trying to use does not support non-versioned Bill of Materials (BOMs). This typically occurs when you are attempting to perform operations that require a versioned BOM, but the system is encountering a BOM that is not versioned.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Versioned BOM: The BOM you are trying to access or manipulate is not versioned. In SAP, BOMs can be versioned to allow for different configurations or changes over time. Non-versioned BOMs do not have this capability.
  API Limitation: The specific API you are using has limitations that prevent it from processing non-versioned BOMs. This is a design choice in the API to ensure data integrity and proper handling of BOMs.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Use Versioned BOMs: If possible, create or convert your BOMs to be versioned. This can be done in the SAP GUI by:
  
  Navigating to the BOM maintenance transaction (e.g., CS01 for creating BOMs).
  Ensuring that you specify a version when creating or editing the BOM.
  
  
  
  Check API Documentation: Review the API documentation to understand its requirements and limitations. This may provide insights into how to structure your requests or what types of BOMs are supported.
  
  
  Modify Your Process: If your business process allows, consider modifying the way you handle BOMs to ensure that you are always working with versioned BOMs when using the specific API.
  
  
  Consult SAP Support: If you are unsure how to proceed or if you believe this error is occurring inappropriately, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They can provide guidance based on your specific system configuration and requirements.
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this error or provide additional context or solutions.
  
  By addressing the issue of non-versioned BOMs and ensuring that you are using versioned BOMs with the API, you should be able to resolve the error message MPE_PLAN_MFG_SUB011.
