  The SAP error message /PLMU/UI_GSS_2B009 indicates that you cannot terminate the Bill of Materials (BOM) header for a specific item. This error typically arises when there are dependencies or references to the BOM that prevent it from being deleted or terminated.
  Causes:
  
  Existing References: The BOM may be referenced in production orders, purchase orders, or other documents, which prevents its deletion.

  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary permissions to terminate the BOM.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check References: 
  
  Use transaction codes like CS03 (Display BOM) to check if the BOM is being used in any production orders or other documents.
  If there are references, you may need to delete or change those documents before terminating the BOM.
  
  
  
  Change BOM Status: 
  
  If the BOM is active, consider changing its status to inactive or obsolete before attempting to terminate it.
