  Version Mismatch: The recipe you are trying to save is referencing a BOM that is not the correct version. This can happen if the BOM has been changed or updated, but the recipe has not been aligned with the latest version of the BOM.
  Inactive BOM: The BOM might be inactive or not available for the current version of the recipe.

  Check BOM Version: Verify that the BOM version you are using is the correct one for the recipe. You can do this by navigating to the BOM in SAP and checking its version.
  Align Recipe and BOM: If the BOM has been updated, you may need to update the recipe to align with the latest BOM version. This can involve:
  
  Editing the recipe to reference the correct BOM version.
  Ensuring that all components in the BOM are correctly reflected in the recipe.
  
  
  Activate BOM: If the BOM is inactive, you may need to activate it. This can usually be done in the BOM management transaction.
  Check for Changes: If there have been recent changes to either the recipe or the BOM, ensure that all changes are saved and that the system is updated.
  Consult Documentation: Review any relevant SAP documentation or notes related to recipe and BOM management for additional guidance.
