  The SAP error message /PLMI/GSS_R2B_SPLIT007 indicates that there is an issue with a subordinate Bill of Materials (BOM) that is expected to exist but cannot be found in the system. This error typically arises in the context of using the SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) module, particularly when dealing with BOMs in a multi-level structure.
  Cause:
  
  Missing BOM: The subordinate BOM referenced in the error message does not exist in the system. This could be due to it not being created, being deleted, or being incorrectly referenced.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue where the system is looking for a BOM that is not properly set up or linked.
  Data Synchronization Issues: If there are issues with data synchronization between different systems (e.g., between SAP and an external system), it may lead to this error.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the subordinate BOM.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check BOM Existence: Verify if the subordinate BOM exists in the system. You can do this by using transaction codes like CS03 (Display BOM) to check if the BOM is available.

  Review BOM Structure: Ensure that the BOM structure is correctly defined and that all components are properly linked.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings related to BOMs in your SAP system to ensure they are set up correctly.
  Data Synchronization: If the issue is related to data synchronization, check the integration settings and ensure that data is being transferred correctly between systems.
