• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_VERSBOM009 - Verion & already exists ?

  The SAP error message MPE_VERSBOM009 indicates that there is an attempt to create or modify a version of a Bill of Materials (BOM) that already exists in the system. This error typically occurs when you are trying to create a new version of a BOM with a version number that is already in use.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Version Number: The version number you are trying to assign to the BOM already exists for that particular material.

  System Configuration: The system may not be configured to allow multiple versions of a BOM for the same material.
  
  Solution:
