• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/AL_GSS027 - Target BOM header is configurable, check object dependency assignment ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/AL_GSS027 Target BOM header is configurable, check object dependency assignment typically occurs in the context of Bill of Materials (BOM) management, particularly when dealing with configurable materials in SAP's Variant Configuration (VC) module. This error indicates that there is an issue with the assignment of object dependencies for a configurable BOM.
  Cause:
  
  Configurable BOM: The BOM in question is marked as configurable, meaning it is intended to be used with different variants of a product.
  Missing Object Dependencies: The error suggests that the object dependencies (which define how the components of the BOM relate to the characteristics of the configurable material) are not properly assigned or are missing.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be an issue with the configuration settings or the way the BOM is set up in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BOM Configuration:
  
  Go to the BOM in question and verify that it is set up correctly as a configurable BOM.
  Ensure that the BOM header is marked as configurable in the material master.
  
  
  
  Review Object Dependencies:
  
  Navigate to the object dependencies assigned to the BOM. You can do this through transaction codes like CU01 (Create Object Dependency) or CU02 (Change Object Dependency).
  Ensure that the object dependencies are correctly defined and assigned to the BOM. This includes checking the characteristics and their values.
  
  
  
  Assign Object Dependencies:
  
  If object dependencies are missing, create or assign the necessary dependencies to the BOM. This may involve defining characteristics and their values that dictate how the BOM components are selected based on the configuration.
  
  
  
  Test Configuration:
  
  After making changes, test the configuration to ensure that the BOM behaves as expected when creating a sales order or production order for the configurable material.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed guidance on setting up configurable BOMs and object dependencies.
