Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/AL_GSS082 - BOM item has global dependency assigned; you cannot edit it here ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/AL_GSS082 indicates that you are trying to edit a Bill of Materials (BOM) item that has a global dependency assigned to it. This means that the BOM item is linked to a global dependency, which restricts direct editing in the current context.
  Cause:
  
  Global Dependency: The BOM item is associated with a global dependency, which is a type of dependency that applies across multiple BOMs or materials. This is often used to manage complex product structures where certain components are shared among different products.
  Editing Restrictions: Due to the nature of global dependencies, SAP restricts editing of these items in certain transactions to maintain data integrity and consistency.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dependency Assignment: Review the BOM item to understand the global dependency assigned. You can do this by navigating to the BOM in the relevant transaction (e.g., CS02 for changing BOM) and checking the dependencies.
  Edit in Dependency Management: If you need to make changes to the BOM item, you may need to do so in the context of the dependency management. This typically involves:
  
  Accessing the dependency management transaction (e.g., CU01 for creating dependencies).
  Making the necessary changes to the global dependency rather than the individual BOM item.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed instructions on managing global dependencies and BOMs.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to edit dependencies and BOMs. If you lack the required permissions, contact your SAP administrator.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  CS01 - Create BOM
  CS02 - Change BOM
  CS03 - Display BOM
  CU01 - Create Dependency

  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to BOM and dependency management that might provide additional insights or solutions.
  Training and Documentation: Consider training sessions or documentation on BOM management and dependency handling in SAP to better understand how to work with these features.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in BOM and dependency management.
