• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/CR_BO079 - Production version cannot be created as BOM usage is not planning ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/CR_BO079 indicates that a production version cannot be created because the Bill of Materials (BOM) usage is not set for planning. This typically occurs in the context of production planning and material management in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  BOM Usage Configuration: The BOM usage that you are trying to use for the production version is not configured for planning. In SAP, BOMs can have different usages (e.g., production, engineering, etc.), and only certain usages are allowed for planning purposes.
  Incorrect BOM Type: The BOM type you are trying to use may not be set up correctly in the system for the intended planning process.
  Missing BOM: There may not be a BOM created for the material in the specified usage.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BOM Usage:
  
  Go to the BOM transaction (CS01, CS02, or CS03) and check the BOM usage for the material in question.
  Ensure that the BOM usage is set to a type that is allowed for planning (e.g., usage 1 for production).
  
  
  
  Create or Modify BOM:
  
  If the BOM does not exist for the required usage, create a new BOM with the correct usage.
  If the BOM exists but is not set for planning, you may need to modify it to ensure it is configured correctly.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings:
  
  Ensure that the material master record is set up correctly for production planning. Check the MRP views in the material master (transaction MM02) to ensure that the relevant settings are correct.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If you have access to configuration settings, check the configuration for BOM usage in the customizing settings (transaction SPRO). Look for the settings related to BOM and production planning.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for more details on BOM usage and production version creation.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BOM Types: Understand the different types of BOMs and their usages in SAP. Common usages include production (1), engineering (2), and others.
  Production Version: A production version is a combination of a BOM and a routing that is used for production planning.
  MRP Views: Familiarize yourself with the MRP views in the material master, as they play a crucial role in production planning and BOM usage.
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in production planning and material management.
