• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_VERSBOM029 - Only released and obsolete status are allowed ?

  The SAP error message MPE_VERSBOM029 indicates that there is an issue with the status of a Bill of Materials (BOM) when trying to perform a certain operation, such as creating or modifying a BOM. The message specifically states that only BOMs with a "released" or "obsolete" status are allowed for the operation you are attempting.
  Cause:
  The error typically occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  BOM Status: The BOM you are trying to use is not in a "released" or "obsolete" status. It may be in a "draft" or "in process" status, which is not permitted for the operation.
  Incorrect BOM Version: You may be trying to access a BOM version that is not released or is in an invalid state.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access BOMs in certain statuses.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check BOM Status:
  
  Go to the BOM management transaction (e.g., CS02 for changing BOMs).
  Check the status of the BOM you are trying to use. Ensure that it is either "released" or "obsolete".
  
  
  
  Release the BOM:
  
  If the BOM is in a "draft" or "in process" status, you will need to release it. You can do this by using the transaction code CS01 (Create BOM) or CS02 (Change BOM) and then selecting the "Release" option.
  
  
  
  Use an Obsolete BOM:
  
  If you are intentionally trying to use an obsolete BOM, ensure that your operation allows for the use of obsolete BOMs.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access and modify BOMs. If you suspect authorization issues, contact your SAP security administrator.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to BOM management for any additional context or specific steps related to your version of SAP.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CS01 (Create BOM), CS02 (Change BOM), CS03 (Display BOM), and CS11 (Display BOM for a material).
  BOM Types: Understand the different types of BOMs (e.g., production BOM, sales BOM) and their statuses.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to BOM management that might provide additional insights or fixes for known issues.
