• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/MBOM_MAP_29232 - BOM does not exist or access authorizations are missing ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/MBOM_MAP_29232 indicates that the system cannot find the Bill of Materials (BOM) you are trying to access, or that you do not have the necessary authorizations to view or manipulate it. Here’s a breakdown of the potential causes, solutions, and related information:
  Causes:
  
  BOM Does Not Exist: The BOM you are trying to access may not have been created or may have been deleted.
  Incorrect BOM Number: The BOM number you are using might be incorrect or mistyped.
  Authorization Issues: Your user profile may not have the necessary permissions to access the BOM.
  Plant or Version Issues: The BOM may exist, but it might not be valid for the plant or version you are trying to access.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the database that prevent the BOM from being accessed.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Verify BOM Existence:
  
  Use transaction code CS03 (Display BOM) to check if the BOM exists. Enter the correct BOM number and plant.
  If the BOM does not exist, you may need to create it using transaction code CS01 (Create BOM).
  
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Contact your SAP security administrator to ensure that your user role has the necessary authorizations to access BOMs. The relevant authorization objects may include C_BOM_A (BOM: Authorization for BOM) and C_BOM_T (BOM: Authorization for BOM Text).
  You can also check your authorizations using transaction code SU53 after encountering the error to see what specific authorizations are missing.
  
  
  
  Correct BOM Number:
  
  Double-check the BOM number you are using for any typographical errors. Ensure you are using the correct format and version.
  
  
  
  Check Plant and Version:
  
  Ensure that you are accessing the BOM for the correct plant and that the BOM version is valid. BOMs can be plant-specific, and you may need to check if the BOM is assigned to the correct plant.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  If you suspect data inconsistencies, you may need to run consistency checks or consult with your SAP Basis team to investigate any underlying database issues.
