• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/BO_MBOM026 - BOM &1 does not exist or access authorizations are missing ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/BO_MBOM026 BOM &1 does not exist or access authorizations are missing typically indicates that the system is unable to find the Bill of Materials (BOM) specified by the identifier &1, or that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to access the BOM.
  Causes:
  
  BOM Does Not Exist: The BOM with the specified identifier may not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo in the BOM number or the BOM not being created yet.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the required authorizations to view or edit the BOM. This can happen if the user’s role does not include access to the relevant BOM data.
  Incorrect Plant or Status: The BOM may exist, but it might not be valid for the plant or status being accessed. BOMs can be plant-specific, and if the BOM is not valid for the specified plant, it will not be found.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the database or issues with the data that prevent the BOM from being accessed.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Verify BOM Existence:
  
  Check if the BOM exists by using transaction code CS03 (Display BOM) and entering the BOM number. Ensure that the BOM is created and active.
  Confirm that you are using the correct BOM number and that it is not misspelled.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations. Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to access BOMs. This can be done by checking the user’s profile in transaction SU01 or by consulting with your SAP security team.
  If necessary, request additional authorizations to access the BOM.
  
  
  
  Check Plant and Status:
  
  Ensure that you are accessing the BOM for the correct plant. BOMs can be specific to certain plants, and if you are trying to access a BOM for a different plant, it will not be found.
  Verify the status of the BOM to ensure it is active and not marked for deletion.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  If you suspect data consistency issues, you may need to run consistency checks or consult with your SAP Basis team to investigate any underlying database issues.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on BOM management and troubleshooting.
