• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message STEP620 - More than one document for BOM header &1; association with material &2 ?

  The SAP error message "STEP620 More than one document for BOM header &1; association with material &2" typically occurs in the context of Bill of Materials (BOM) processing. This error indicates that there are multiple BOMs associated with a single material, which can lead to confusion in the system regarding which BOM to use for a particular operation.
  Cause:
  
  
  Multiple BOMs: The primary cause of this error is that there are multiple BOMs defined for the same material in the system. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect data entry or configuration.
  Different versions of BOMs that have not been properly managed.
  Duplicate entries in the BOM master data.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: Sometimes, the configuration settings in the system may not be set up to handle multiple BOMs correctly, leading to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the STEP620 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check BOMs for the Material:
  
  Use transaction code CS03 (Display BOM) to check all BOMs associated with the material in question. 
  Identify if there are indeed multiple BOMs for the same material.
  
  
  
  Review BOM Status:
  
  Ensure that the BOMs are in the correct status (active, inactive, etc.) and that the correct BOM is being referenced in your process.
  
  
  
  Delete or Archive Unused BOMs:
  
  If there are duplicate or obsolete BOMs, consider deleting or archiving them to avoid confusion. Use transaction code CS02 (Change BOM) to make necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Use BOM Selection Criteria:
  
  If multiple BOMs are necessary (for example, for different production scenarios), ensure that the correct selection criteria are being used in your transaction or process to specify which BOM to use.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines on managing BOMs and resolving conflicts.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
