  The SAP error message MPE_VERSBOM014 indicates that there are missing effectivity values for a Bill of Materials (BOM) item. This error typically arises when the system is unable to find the necessary effectivity data for a specific BOM item, which is crucial for determining the validity of the BOM in relation to a particular time period or production scenario.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Effectivity Data: The BOM item does not have the required effectivity values defined. Effectivity values are used to specify the time period during which a particular BOM item is valid.
  Incorrect Configuration: The BOM may not be properly configured to include effectivity data, or the effectivity data may not have been maintained correctly.
  Versioning Issues: If the BOM is versioned, the specific version being referenced may not have the necessary effectivity data.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as missing or incorrect entries in the BOM or related master data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check BOM Configuration: Review the BOM configuration for the item in question. Ensure that effectivity values are correctly defined and maintained.
  
  Use transaction code CS03 to display the BOM and check for effectivity settings.
  
  
  Maintain Effectivity Values: If effectivity values are missing, you can add them using transaction code CS02 (Change BOM) or CS01 (Create BOM).
  
  Ensure that the effectivity dates are set correctly to cover the required time periods.
  
  
  Review BOM Versions: If you are using BOM versions, ensure that the correct version is being referenced and that it has the necessary effectivity data.
  Data Consistency Check: Perform a consistency check on the BOM and related master data to identify any discrepancies. You can use transaction code CSBI (BOM Information System) to analyze BOM data.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on maintaining effectivity values in BOMs.
