• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/BO_MBOM013 - You do not have authorization to create a material BOM ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/BO_MBOM013 indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to create a material Bill of Materials (BOM). This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role. In SAP, authorizations are managed through roles and profiles, and if a user attempts to perform an action for which they do not have the required permissions, they will receive an error message like this one.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check that failed and provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 to display the user profile. Check the roles assigned to the user and see if they include the necessary permissions for creating material BOMs.
  
  
  
  Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization objects for creating material BOMs typically include:
  
  C_BOM_A (Authorization for BOM)
  C_BOM_C (Authorization for BOM Change)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles. This can be done using transaction code PFCG (Profile Generator). Add the required authorization objects to the user's role.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt to create the material BOM again.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, you will need to contact your SAP security team or system administrator for assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for detailed information on authorization objects and roles.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU01: User Maintenance
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to BOM authorizations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issue preventing the creation of a material BOM in SAP.
