• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/GSS_R2B014 - BOM can only be synchronized with versions of recipe &1 &2 ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/GSS_R2B014 indicates that there is an issue with synchronizing a Bill of Materials (BOM) with the versions of the recipe in the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Process Industry solutions, particularly when dealing with recipes and BOMs in the context of production planning and control.
  Cause:
  The error message suggests that the BOM you are trying to synchronize is not compatible with the versions of the recipe you are using. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Version Mismatch: The BOM and the recipe versions do not match. Each BOM and recipe can have multiple versions, and they need to be aligned for synchronization.
  Inactive Versions: One of the versions (either BOM or recipe) may be inactive or not released for use.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that prevent the synchronization of certain versions.
  Data Integrity Issues: There could be inconsistencies in the data related to the BOM or recipe.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Versions: Verify the versions of both the BOM and the recipe. Ensure that you are trying to synchronize compatible versions.
  
  Use transaction codes like CS03 (Display BOM) and C202 (Display Recipe) to check the versions.
  
  
  
  Activate Versions: If you find that one of the versions is inactive, you may need to activate or release it.
  
  You can use transaction codes like CS02 (Change BOM) or C201 (Change Recipe) to make the necessary changes.
  
  
  
  Synchronize Manually: If automatic synchronization is failing, consider manually synchronizing the BOM and recipe versions.
  
  This may involve creating a new version of the BOM that matches the recipe version.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the SAP system related to BOM and recipe management to ensure that there are no restrictions preventing synchronization.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to BOM and recipe synchronization for any specific guidelines or known issues.
  
  
  Contact Support: If the issue persists after trying the above steps, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CS01 (Create BOM), CS02, CS03, C201, C202, etc.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Process Industry Documentation: Review SAP documentation specific to the Process Industry for best practices in managing BOMs and recipes.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to synchronize the BOM with the recipe versions successfully.
