How To Fix MU076 - The material &1 is used logistically without a BOM

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: MU - Maintenance of structured materials

• Message number: 076

• Message text: The material &1 is used logistically without a BOM

What causes this issue?

The material &V1& is already used logistically (see number &V2& below):
<DS:NA.MU063>The material is already listed</>
<DS:NA.MU020>The material is used in a product catalog</>
<DS:NA.MU062>Purchasing documents exist for the material</>
<DS:NA.MU071>Stocks already exist for the material</>
<DS:NA.MU067>Sales orders exist for the material</>
As a result, a bill of material (BOM) can no longer be created or
changed. In situations of this kind, the system can normally display
the existing BOM. However, this is not possible here because a BOM has
not been assigned to the material.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Create a new material and assign the required BOM to it, taking care to
assign the components to the material before maintaining the
<LS>Listing</> view.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MU076 - The material &1 is used logistically without a BOM ?

  The SAP error message MU076 indicates that a material is being used in a logistical context (such as in a production order or a purchase order) but does not have a Bill of Materials (BOM) defined. This can occur in scenarios where the system expects a BOM for the material to determine how it should be produced or assembled.
  Cause:
  
  Missing BOM: The primary cause of this error is that the material in question does not have an associated BOM in the system.
  Incorrect Material Type: The material may be of a type that typically requires a BOM (e.g., a finished product) but does not have one defined.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that require a BOM for certain operations, and the material does not meet these requirements.
  
  Solution:
  
  Create a BOM: If the material is supposed to have a BOM, you need to create one. This can be done using the transaction code CS01 (Create BOM). Ensure that you enter the correct material number and plant.
  Check Material Type: Verify that the material type is appropriate for the use case. If the material should not have a BOM, consider changing its type or usage.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the system to ensure that they align with your business processes. This may involve consulting with your SAP configuration team.
  Use Alternative Materials: If the material is not intended to have a BOM, consider using an alternative material that is correctly configured.
