  The SAP error message MPE_VERSBOM028 typically occurs when you are trying to change the status of a Bill of Materials (BOM) version in the SAP system, but you have not specified a new status for the BOM version. This error is common in the context of BOM management, particularly when using transaction codes related to BOM maintenance.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered because the system expects you to enter a new status for the BOM version, but it has not been provided. The BOM version status is crucial for determining how the BOM is treated in various processes, such as production planning and inventory management.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to follow these steps:
  
  
  Access the BOM Maintenance Transaction: Go to the relevant transaction for BOM maintenance (e.g., CS02 for changing BOM, CS03 for displaying BOM).
  
  
  Select the BOM Version: Enter the material number and the plant to access the specific BOM version you want to modify.
  
  
  Specify the New Status: Look for the field where you can enter the new BOM version status. This is usually a dropdown or input field where you can select or enter the desired status (e.g., "Active," "Inactive," "Obsolete," etc.).
  
  
  Save Changes: After entering the new status, save your changes. This should resolve the error.

  BOM Versioning: Understanding BOM versioning is essential. Each BOM can have multiple versions, and each version can have different statuses that affect how it is used in production and planning.
  
  
  Status Definitions: Familiarize yourself with the different BOM statuses and their implications. For example, an "Active" status means the BOM is currently in use, while an "Inactive" status means it is not being used in production.
  
  
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to change BOM statuses. Lack of proper permissions can also lead to errors.
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files for more detailed information on BOM management and the specific transaction you are using.
