Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_VERSBOM006 - Only version controlled BOM usages are allowed ?

  The SAP error message MPE_VERSBOM006 indicates that the system is enforcing a restriction on the usage of Bill of Materials (BOM) versions. Specifically, it means that only version-controlled BOM usages are allowed in the context of the operation you are trying to perform. This typically occurs in scenarios where the system is set up to require version management for BOMs, and the BOM usage you are trying to access or modify does not meet this requirement.
  Cause:
  
  BOM Versioning Not Enabled: The BOM you are trying to use is not version-controlled, but the system settings require that it be.
  Incorrect BOM Usage: You may be trying to use a BOM that is not marked for version control, or you are referencing an incorrect or outdated BOM usage.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration in the SAP system may be set to enforce version control for BOMs, which is not aligned with the BOM you are trying to use.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check BOM Configuration: Verify that the BOM you are trying to use is indeed version-controlled. You can do this by checking the BOM details in the SAP system (transaction code CS03 for display).
  Create/Update BOM Version: If the BOM is not version-controlled, you may need to create a new version of the BOM or update the existing one to ensure it is version-controlled. This can be done using transaction code CS01 (Create BOM) or CS02 (Change BOM).
  Review BOM Usage: Ensure that you are using the correct BOM usage that is version-controlled. You may need to check the usage settings in the BOM.
  System Configuration: If you believe the requirement for version control is not necessary for your business process, you may need to consult with your SAP administrator or configuration team to review and potentially adjust the settings related to BOM version control.
