How To Fix VCH_L2A_EXPLOSION119 - Other valid profile &1 also exists for BOM component &2

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VCH_L2A_EXPLOSION - VCH Transition Workspace Explosion Errors

• Message number: 119

• Message text: Other valid profile &1 also exists for BOM component &2

What causes this issue?

During explosion of the BOM<(>,<)> the transition tool searches for
valid LOVC configuration profiles on each BOM component. If there are
multiple valid profiles, then the transition tool always uses the first
one from the list (the one with highest priority). The other valid
profiles won't be added to the workbench item hierarchy.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

If you consider that the other LOVC profiles are also necessary for
transition, you can add them - with their corresponding product -
individually to a workspace and perform the transition of the product
and the profile independently from this workspace.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VCH_L2A_EXPLOSION119 - Other valid profile &1 also exists for BOM component &2 ?

  The SAP error message VCH_L2A_EXPLOSION119 indicates that there is a conflict in the Bill of Materials (BOM) configuration for a specific component. This error typically arises when there are multiple valid profiles for a BOM component, which can lead to ambiguity in the system regarding which profile to use during the BOM explosion process.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  There are multiple valid BOM profiles defined for the same component in the BOM.
  The system is unable to determine which profile to use because more than one is valid for the specified component.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check BOM Configuration:
  
  Go to the BOM transaction (e.g., CS03) and check the component in question.
  Review the profiles assigned to the component and identify if there are multiple valid profiles.
  
  
  
  Identify Redundant Profiles:
  
  Determine if any of the profiles are redundant or if they can be consolidated.
  If certain profiles are no longer needed, consider deleting or deactivating them.
  
  
  
  Adjust Validity Dates:
  
  Check the validity dates of the profiles. If profiles are valid for overlapping periods, adjust the dates to ensure that only one profile is valid at a time for the component.
  
  
  
  Profile Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the correct profile is assigned to the BOM component based on your business requirements.
  If necessary, update the BOM to reflect the desired profile.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on managing BOM profiles and resolving conflicts.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform a test explosion of the BOM to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BOM (Bill of Materials): A structured list of components, subassemblies, and raw materials needed to manufacture a product.
  Profiles: In the context of BOMs, profiles can refer to specific configurations or settings that dictate how components are treated during production.
  SAP Transactions: Familiarize yourself with relevant SAP transactions such as CS01 (Create BOM), CS02 (Change BOM), and CS03 (Display BOM) for managing BOMs.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or refer to SAP Notes for any known issues related to this error message.
