• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/GSS_R2X054 - Change number &1 has an earlier valid-from date than BOM &2 ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/GSS_R2X054 indicates that there is a conflict with the change number and the Bill of Materials (BOM) in terms of their valid-from dates. Specifically, the error states that the change number you are trying to use has an earlier valid-from date than the BOM it is associated with. This can occur during operations such as BOM changes, where the system checks the validity of the change number against the BOM's effective date.
  
  Cause:
  
  Change Number Validity: The change number you are trying to apply has a valid-from date that is earlier than the valid-from date of the BOM. This means that the BOM is not yet effective for the date of the change number.
  Incorrect Date Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the dates assigned to the change number or the BOM.
  Data Entry Error: The dates may have been entered incorrectly during the creation of the change number
