• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message U9008 - &1( &2): BOM component that is not APO-relevant ?

  The SAP error message U9008 typically indicates that there is a Bill of Materials (BOM) component that is not relevant for Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). This can occur in scenarios where the system is trying to perform planning activities, but certain components in the BOM are not set up correctly for APO.
  Cause:
  
  BOM Configuration: The BOM component may not be marked as APO-relevant in the system. This can happen if the component is not intended for planning or if it is a non-stock item.
  Master Data Issues: The material master data for the BOM component may not be properly configured for APO. This includes settings related to planning strategies, procurement types, or other relevant parameters.
  Integration Issues: There may be issues with the integration between the SAP ERP system and the APO system, leading to discrepancies in how BOM components are recognized.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BOM Configuration:
  
  Go to the BOM in the SAP system and verify the settings for each component. Ensure that the components are marked as relevant for APO.
  You can check this in the BOM details under the "APO" tab or similar settings.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Check the material master data for the BOM components. Ensure that the relevant planning views are maintained and that the materials are set up for APO.
  Specifically, check the "MRP" and "APO" views to ensure that the planning parameters are correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Update Integration Settings:
  
  If there are integration issues, review the settings in the integration model between SAP ERP and APO. Ensure that the relevant materials and BOMs are included in the integration model.
  You may need to regenerate the integration model to ensure that all relevant data is synchronized.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to BOM and APO integration for any specific configurations or known issues that may apply to your version of SAP.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test run to see if the error persists. Monitor the planning run to ensure that the BOM components are now being recognized correctly.

  APO Configuration: Ensure that your APO system is properly configured to handle the specific types of BOMs and components you are using.
