• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPH_MRP184 - No valid BOM for phantom material ?

  The SAP error message PPH_MRP184: No valid BOM for phantom material typically occurs during the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) process when the system is unable to find a valid Bill of Materials (BOM) for a phantom material. Phantom materials are special types of materials in SAP that are not stocked but are used in production processes.
  Cause:
  
  Missing BOM: The most common cause is that there is no BOM defined for the phantom material in the system.
  Incorrect BOM Status: The BOM might exist but could be inactive or not valid for the specific plant or production version.
  Plant/Version Mismatch: The BOM may not be assigned to the plant or production version that is being used in the MRP run.
  Phantom Material Configuration: The phantom material may not be correctly configured in the system, leading to issues in BOM determination.
  MRP Settings: Incorrect MRP settings or parameters may also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check BOM Existence: Verify if a BOM exists for the phantom material. You can do this using transaction code CS03 (Display BOM) and entering the material number and plant.
  Activate BOM: If the BOM exists but is inactive, you may need to activate it.
  Check BOM Validity: Ensure that the BOM is valid for the relevant plant and production version. You can check this in the BOM details.
  Create/Update BOM: If no BOM exists, you will need to create one using transaction code CS01 (Create BOM) or update an existing one using CS02 (Change BOM).
  Review Phantom Material Settings: Ensure that the phantom material is correctly set up in the material master. Check the material type and ensure it is configured to use BOMs correctly.
  MRP Configuration: Review the MRP configuration settings to ensure they are set up correctly for phantom materials.
