• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/MBOM_MAP_29027 - You are not authorized to create new alternatives for this BOM ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/MBOM_MAP_29027 indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to create new alternatives for a Bill of Materials (BOM). This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are in place to ensure that only users with the appropriate permissions can perform certain actions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to create a new alternative for the BOM does not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for BOM management.
  BOM Status: The BOM might be in a status that does not allow changes or additions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorization, a security administrator should update the user's roles to include the required authorization objects. Common authorization objects related to BOM management include:
  
  C_BOM_A (BOM: General Authorization)
  C_BOM_M (BOM: Change Authorization)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate activity codes (e.g., create, change) for BOMs.
  
  
  
  Check BOM Status:
  
  Verify the status of the BOM in question. If it is locked or in a status that does not allow changes, you may need to unlock it or change its status.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for managing BOMs and user authorizations.
