• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/MBOM_MAP_29116 - Material type & not supported for BOM usage & ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/MBOM_MAP_29116 indicates that the material type specified is not supported for the Bill of Materials (BOM) usage you are trying to access or create. This error typically arises in the context of using the SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) module, particularly when dealing with Manufacturing BOMs (MBOMs).
  Cause:
  
  Material Type Restriction: The material type you are trying to use is not configured to be used with the specific BOM usage. Each material type in SAP can have specific settings that determine whether it can be used in a BOM.
  BOM Usage Configuration: The BOM usage you are trying to assign to the material type may not be allowed. For example, certain material types may only be allowed for specific BOM usages (like production, engineering, etc.).
  Custom Configuration: If your organization has custom configurations or enhancements, they may restrict certain material types from being used in specific contexts.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OMJ4 (or SPRO for configuration) to check the settings for the material type in question.
  Ensure that the material type is allowed for the BOM usage you are trying to use.
  
  
  
  Review BOM Usage Settings:
  
  Use transaction code CS01 (Create BOM) or CS02 (Change BOM) to check the BOM usage settings.
  Ensure that the BOM usage you are trying to assign is compatible with the material type.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Configuration Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to check or change the configuration, consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to review the settings.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Material Type:
  
  If the material type is indeed not supported for the required BOM usage, consider using a different material type that is compatible.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Enhancements:
  
  If your organization has custom enhancements or modifications, check if any of these are affecting the material type and BOM usage compatibility.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BOM Usages: Understand the different BOM usages available in your SAP system (e.g., production, engineering, sales, etc.) and how they relate to material types.
  Material Master Data: Review the material master data for the material type in question to ensure it is set up correctly.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, it may be beneficial to reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
