• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/BO_MBOM036 - Versioning Supported only for Engineering BOM ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/BO_MBOM036 Versioning Supported only for Engineering BOM typically occurs when there is an attempt to use versioning features in a Bill of Materials (BOM) that is not classified as an Engineering BOM (EBOM). This error indicates that the versioning functionality is restricted to Engineering BOMs in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  BOM Type: The BOM you are trying to work with is not an Engineering BOM. In SAP, there are different types of BOMs, such as Production BOMs (PBOM), Sales BOMs, and Engineering BOMs. Versioning is only applicable to Engineering BOMs.
  Configuration Settings: The system may not be configured to allow versioning for the type of BOM you are working with.
  Incorrect Transaction: You might be using a transaction or function that is intended for Engineering BOMs while working with a different BOM type.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check BOM Type: Verify that the BOM you are trying to version is indeed an Engineering BOM. You can do this by checking the BOM type in the BOM master data.
  Create or Change BOM: If you need versioning, consider creating a new Engineering BOM or changing the existing BOM type to Engineering BOM if applicable.
  Use Correct Transactions: Ensure you are using the correct transactions for managing Engineering BOMs. For example, use transaction codes like CS01 (Create BOM), CS02 (Change BOM), or CS03 (Display BOM) specifically for Engineering BOMs.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help files related to BOM management and versioning to ensure you are following the correct procedures.
  System Configuration: If you believe the configuration is incorrect, consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to ensure that the system settings allow for versioning where appropriate.
  
  Related Information:
