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

MU076 - Overview

• 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.
