• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_VERSBOM030 - Only in process version can be released ?

  The SAP error message MPE_VERSBOM030 indicates that you are trying to release a Bill of Materials (BOM) in a version that is not the process version. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) or Engineering Change Management (ECM) modules, where different versions of BOMs are managed.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:

  If you need to release a different version, you may need to change the status of the BOM to make it the process version.
  
  
  
  Change BOM Status:
  
  If necessary, change the status of the BOM to make it the process version. This can typically be done in the BOM management transaction by selecting the appropriate version and changing its status.
