    The SAP error message VMP_MSG139 indicates that the Bill of Materials (BOM) usage specified is not relevant for production. This typically occurs when the BOM usage does not match the production requirements or settings in the system.

    Cause:

    1. Incorrect BOM Usage: The BOM usage specified in the production order or the material master may not be set up correctly. Each BOM can have different usages (e.g., production, engineering, etc.), and if the usage does not match the expected value, this error will occur.
