• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/BO_MBOM063 - BOM is obsolete and can't be changed ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/BO_MBOM063 indicates that the Bill of Materials (BOM) you are trying to change is marked as obsolete. This typically means that the BOM is no longer valid for use in production or planning processes, and therefore, changes cannot be made to it.
  Cause:
  
  Obsolescence Status: The BOM has been set to an obsolete status, which is often done to prevent further modifications or usage in production.
  Date Control: The BOM may have a validity period that has expired, making it obsolete.
  Master Data Management: The BOM might have been intentionally marked as obsolete by a user or through a business process to ensure that only current BOMs are used.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check BOM Status: Verify the status of the BOM in the system. You can do this by navigating to the BOM in the SAP GUI and checking its details.
  Create a New BOM: If the BOM is obsolete and you need to make changes, consider creating a new BOM with the required changes instead of modifying the obsolete one.
  Reactivate the BOM: If it is necessary to modify the obsolete BOM, you may need to consult with your SAP administrator or relevant personnel to see if it can be reactivated. This typically involves changing the status back to active, which may require specific authorizations.
  Use Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like CS02 (Change BOM) or CS03 (Display BOM) to check the details and status of the BOM.
  Consult Documentation: Review any internal documentation or guidelines regarding BOM management in your organization to understand the process for handling obsolete BOMs.
  
  Related Information:
