• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_PLAN_PV075 - BOM usage should be execution only when plg and SF BOMs are different ?

  The SAP error message MPE_PLAN_PV075 indicates that there is an issue with the Bill of Materials (BOM) usage in the context of production planning. Specifically, it suggests that the BOM usage should only be executed when the planning (PLG) BOM and the standard formula (SF) BOM are different. This error typically arises in scenarios where the system is trying to use a BOM that is not appropriate for the current production planning context.
  Cause:
  
  BOM Configuration: The error often occurs when the BOMs for a material are not set up correctly. If the planning BOM and the standard formula BOM are the same, the system does not allow execution because it expects them to be different for certain operations.
  Incorrect BOM Usage: The system may be trying to use a BOM that is not intended for the current production process or planning scenario.
  Master Data Issues: There may be inconsistencies or errors in the master data related to the material, BOM, or production process.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BOM Configuration:
  
  Verify the BOMs for the material in question. Ensure that the planning BOM and the standard formula BOM are correctly defined and that they are indeed different if the process requires it.
  If they are the same and should not be, consider creating a separate planning BOM that reflects the necessary differences.
  
  
  
  Review BOM Usage:
  
  Ensure that the correct BOM usage is being applied in the production planning process. If the system is trying to execute a BOM that is not appropriate, adjust the settings accordingly.
  
  
  
  Master Data Review:
  
  Check the master data for the material, including the material type, BOM usage, and any related settings. Ensure that all relevant data is consistent and correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to BOM usage and production planning for any specific guidelines or requirements that may apply to your scenario.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, conduct tests to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that the production planning process can proceed as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BOM Types: Understand the different types of BOMs in SAP (e.g., production BOM, sales BOM, engineering BOM) and their specific uses.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CS01 (Create BOM), CS02 (Change BOM), and CS03 (Display BOM) to manage BOMs effectively.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on BOM usage in production planning.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP production planning and BOM management.
