  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MU045 - The BOM for the material & will be deleted ?

    The SAP error message MU045 indicates that the Bill of Materials (BOM) for a specific material is set to be deleted. This message typically arises in the context of material management and production planning within SAP.

    Cause:

    1. Deletion Flag: The BOM for the material has been marked for deletion. This can happen if a user has set a deletion flag in the BOM management transaction.
    2. Material Status: The material itself may have a status that prevents the BOM from being used, leading to its deletion.
    3. Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data related to the BOM or the material, prompting the system to flag the BOM for deletion.
    4. User Action: A user may have inadvertently or intentionally initiated a deletion process for the BOM.

    Solution:

    1. Check BOM Status: Verify the status of the BOM in the BOM management transaction (CS02 or CS03). If it is marked for deletion, you can remove the deletion flag.
    2. Review Material Status: Check the material status in the material master (MM03) to ensure it is active and not restricted.
    3. Recreate BOM: If the BOM has been deleted and is needed, you may need to recreate it using the appropriate transaction (CS01).
    4. Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks to ensure that there are no underlying data issues that could be causing the BOM to be flagged for deletion.
    5. Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidance related to your system configuration.
