  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VCH_HL_EXT_BOM006 - No BOM has been assigned to this object ?

    The SAP error message VCH_HL_EXT_BOM006 indicates that there is no Bill of Materials (BOM) assigned to the object you are trying to work with. This error typically occurs in scenarios where a BOM is required for a material or product, but none has been defined in the system.

    Cause:

    1. Missing BOM: The most common cause is that the BOM has not been created for the material or product in question.
    2. Incorrect Material Type: The material type may not be configured to use BOMs.
    3. Incorrect Plant or Version: The BOM may exist, but it is not assigned to the specific plant or version you are trying to access.
    4. Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as the BOM being marked as inactive or deleted.

    Solution:

    1. Create a BOM: If a BOM does not exist for the material, you will need to create one. This can be done using transaction code CS01 (Create BOM).
