• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPH_DD009 - Product &1 is not used in any active BOMs in Plant &2 ?

  The SAP error message PPH_DD009 indicates that a specific product (denoted as &1) is not being used in any active Bill of Materials (BOMs) for the specified plant (denoted as &2). This error typically arises in the context of production planning, material management, or when trying to perform operations that require a BOM for the specified product.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Active BOM: The most common cause is that there is no active BOM for the specified product in the specified plant. This could be due to:
  
  The BOM has not been created yet.
  The BOM exists but is not marked as active.
  The BOM is valid for a different plant or has been deleted.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Plant/Product: The product or plant specified in the error message may be incorrect or not aligned with the existing BOMs.
  
  
  BOM Status: The BOM might be in a status that does not allow it to be used (e.g., it is in a draft or inactive state).
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BOM Existence:
  
  Use transaction code CS03 (Display BOM) to check if a BOM exists for the specified product and plant.
  If no BOM exists, you will need to create one using transaction code CS01 (Create BOM).
  
  
  
  Check BOM Status:
  
  Ensure that the BOM is active. You can check the status of the BOM in the BOM display transaction.
  If the BOM is inactive, you may need to activate it.
  
  
  
  Create or Update BOM:
  
  If the BOM does not exist, create a new BOM for the product in the specified plant.
  If the BOM exists but is not valid for the specified plant, you may need to create a new BOM for that plant or copy the existing BOM and assign it to the correct plant.
  
  
  
  Verify Product and Plant:
  
  Double-check that the product and plant codes you are using are correct and correspond to the intended BOM.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the BOM creation process or the specific requirements for your organization, consult your internal documentation or reach out to your SAP support team.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BOM Types: Understand the different types of BOMs (e.g., single-level, multi-level) and their applications.
  BOM Validity: BOMs have validity dates; ensure that the BOM is valid for the date of the operation you are trying to perform.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to BOMs and this error message.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify BOMs in the system.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the PPH_DD009 error and ensure that the product is properly linked to an active BOM in the specified plant.
