• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VMP_MSG150 - PSM explosion date &1 does not match simulation date &2 ?

  The SAP error message VMP_MSG150 indicates a mismatch between the planned simulation date and the explosion date in the context of Product Structure Management (PSM) or similar modules. This error typically arises during the process of simulating a production order or when working with bill of materials (BOM) and routing data.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the explosion date (the date when the BOM is to be exploded for planning purposes) does not match the simulation date (the date for which the simulation is being run). This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Incorrect Date Settings: The simulation date may have been set incorrectly, or the explosion date in the BOM or routing may not align with the expected simulation date.
  Master Data Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the master data, such as the validity periods of the BOM or routing not aligning with the simulation date.
  Configuration Errors: There could be configuration issues in the planning settings that lead to this mismatch.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Dates: Verify the simulation date and the explosion date. Ensure that they are set correctly and that the explosion date is valid for the simulation date.
  
  
  Review BOM and Routing: Check the BOM and routing data for the material in question. Ensure that the validity periods of the BOM and routing match the simulation date. If necessary, adjust the dates in the master data.
  
  
  Adjust Simulation Settings: If the simulation date is set incorrectly, adjust it to match the explosion date or vice versa, depending on your planning requirements.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources related to Product Structure Management and planning to ensure that you are following the correct procedures.
  
  
  Check Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the planning settings are correctly configured.
  
  
  Testing: After making adjustments, re-run the simulation to see if the error is resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like CS01, CS02, or CS03 to manage BOMs, and C223 for routing.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  User Forums: Consider searching SAP community forums or user groups for similar issues and solutions shared by other users.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the cause of the VMP_MSG150 error in your SAP system.
