• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/BO_MBOM015 - You do not have authorization to create material BOM &1 ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/BO_MBOM015 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 error is typically caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user lacks the required authorization for the specific authorization object related to BOM creation.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate role that includes the necessary permissions for creating material BOMs.
  Authorization Profile: The authorization profile assigned to the user does not include the necessary permissions for the transaction or action they are trying to perform.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check and can help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include permissions for BOM creation.
  If the user does not have the required roles, you may need to assign them or request that a security administrator do so.
  
  
  
  Authorization Object:
  
  The relevant authorization object for BOM creation is typically C_BOM_AUS (for BOM authorization). Ensure that the user has the necessary values set for this object.
  You can check the authorizations for this object using transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the error message and the results from SU53 to assist in troubleshooting.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making any changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt to create the material BOM again.
