• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PS_MSGS014 - Material BOM with header material &1 is created ?

  The SAP error message PS_MSGS014 indicates that a Bill of Materials (BOM) for a specific header material has been created. This message typically arises in the context of SAP's Production Planning (PP) or Project System (PS) modules when there is an attempt to create or modify a BOM that already exists for the specified material.
  Cause:
  
  Existing BOM: The primary cause of this error is that a BOM for the specified header material already exists in the system. SAP does not allow the creation of duplicate BOMs for the same material.
  Incorrect Transaction: The error may also occur if the user is trying to create a BOM in a transaction that is not intended for that purpose or if the user is not following the correct procedure.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing BOM: 
  
  Use transaction code CS03 (Display BOM) to check if a BOM already exists for the specified header material. If it does, you can view its details.
  If you need to make changes to the existing BOM, you can use transaction code CS02 (Change BOM) instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Delete or Change Existing BOM: 
  
  If the existing BOM is no longer needed, you can delete it using transaction code CS02 (Change BOM) and then select the delete option.
  If you need to modify the existing BOM, you can do so in the same transaction.
  
  
  
  Create Alternative BOM: 
  
  If you need to create a new BOM for the same material but with different components or configurations, consider creating an alternative BOM or using a different BOM usage.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to BOM management to ensure you are following the correct procedures.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BOM Types: Understand the different types of BOMs (e.g., production BOM, sales BOM, etc.) and their specific uses.
  BOM Usage: Each BOM can have different usages, which allows for multiple BOMs for the same material under different contexts.
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify BOMs in the system.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide additional guidance related to BOM management.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the PS_MSGS014 error and manage your BOMs effectively in SAP.
