  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  Missing BOM: The BOM for the specified material may not exist in the system for the given plant.
  Incorrect BOM Status: The BOM might be inactive or not valid for the specified plant or material.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the master data, such as incorrect material master records or BOM components.

  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the BOM data.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the PMRP_TRANSFER036 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check BOM Existence:
  
  Use transaction code CS03 (Display BOM) to check if the BOM exists for the specified material and plant.
  If it does not exist, you may need to create it using transaction code CS01 (Create BOM).
  
  
  
  Verify BOM Status:
  
  Ensure that the BOM is active and valid for the specified plant. You can check the validity dates and status in the BOM details.
