• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/AL_GSS022 - Object dependencies deleted because target BOM is not configurable ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/AL_GSS022 indicates that object dependencies have been deleted because the target Bill of Materials (BOM) is not configurable. This typically occurs in the context of variant configuration in SAP, where object dependencies (such as constraints, selection conditions, and procedures) are used to manage the relationships between configurable materials and their components.
  Cause:
  
  Non-configurable BOM: The target BOM is defined as non-configurable, meaning it does not support the variant configuration features that allow for dynamic selection of components based on specific characteristics.
  Incorrect BOM Settings: The BOM may not be set up correctly to allow for configuration, or it may be linked to a material that is not marked as configurable.
  Dependency Definition Issues: The object dependencies may have been defined for a configurable material but are being applied to a non-configurable BOM.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BOM Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the BOM you are trying to use is set up as a configurable BOM. You can do this by checking the material master data and BOM settings.
  Go to the BOM in transaction CS02 and verify that the material is marked as configurable.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master:
  
  Check the material master record of the target material (the one linked to the BOM) in transaction MM02. Ensure that the "Configurable" checkbox is selected in the Basic Data view.
  
  
  
  Adjust Object Dependencies:
  
  If the BOM is intended to be configurable, you may need to redefine the object dependencies to ensure they are correctly linked to a configurable BOM.
  Use transaction CU01 to create or modify object dependencies and ensure they are associated with the correct configurable material.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to variant configuration and BOM management to ensure that you are following best practices.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the configuration to ensure that the object dependencies are now correctly applied and that the error message no longer appears.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Variant Configuration: Understand the principles of variant configuration in SAP, which allows for the creation of configurable products with different options and features.
  BOM Types: Familiarize yourself with different types of BOMs in SAP, including configurable and non-configurable BOMs.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide additional guidance related to this error message.
