• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/TSM617 - DP BOM: Several Versions are active for &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/TSM617 DP BOM: Several Versions are active for &1 typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), specifically when dealing with Demand Planning (DP) and Bill of Materials (BOM). This error indicates that there are multiple active versions of a BOM for a specific material, which can lead to confusion in planning processes.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the existence of multiple active BOM versions for the same material in the system. In SAP, a BOM can have different versions, and only one version should be active at a time for a specific planning scenario. When the system encounters multiple active versions, it cannot determine which one to use, leading to this error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Active BOM Versions:
  
  Use transaction code CS03 (Display BOM) to check the BOM versions for the material in question. You can also use transaction CS02 (Change BOM) to see the active versions.
  
  
  
  Deactivate Unnecessary Versions:
  
  If you find multiple active versions, determine which version should be the active one. You can deactivate the unnecessary versions using transaction CS02 by changing the status of the BOM.
  
  
  
  Review BOM Validity Dates:
  
  Ensure that the validity dates of the BOM versions are set correctly. If a BOM version is valid for a certain period, make sure that the active version corresponds to the current date.
  
  
  
  Check for Planning Book Settings:
  
  Review the settings in the planning book to ensure that it is configured to use the correct BOM version. You may need to adjust the planning book settings to point to the desired BOM version.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on managing BOM versions in APO.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the planning process again to ensure that the error is resolved and that the correct BOM version is being used.
