• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PLMDISCALC039 - Header (Co-Product) &1 uses item &2 in order BOM &3 (&4) ?

  The SAP error message PLMDISCALC039 typically occurs in the context of production planning and is related to the use of co-products in a Bill of Materials (BOM). This error indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the co-product and its associated items in the BOM.
  Cause:
  The error message PLMDISCALC039 is triggered when:
  
  A co-product (header) is trying to reference an item that is not properly defined or is missing in the order BOM.
  There may be inconsistencies in the BOM configuration, such as incorrect item categories or missing components.
  The item might not be assigned correctly in the BOM for the specified production order.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check BOM Configuration:
  
  Go to the BOM transaction (CS03) and check the BOM for the specified header and item.
  Ensure that the item is correctly defined as a co-product and is included in the BOM.
  
  
  
  Verify Item Categories:
  
  Ensure that the item categories for both the header and the item are correctly set. Co-products should have the appropriate item category that allows them to be part of the BOM.
  
  
  
  Check Production Order:
  
  If the error occurs during the processing of a production order, check the order details to ensure that all components are correctly assigned and that the order is referencing the correct BOM.
  
  
  
  Recreate BOM:
  
  If there are inconsistencies that cannot be resolved, consider recreating the BOM for the co-product to ensure that all items are correctly linked.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to co-products and BOMs for any specific configuration requirements or limitations.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes:
