• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VMP_MSG151 - PSM explosion date &1 is not between simulation dates &2 and &3 ?

  The SAP error message VMP_MSG151 indicates that there is a problem with the simulation dates in relation to the explosion date of a Product Structure Management (PSM) process. Specifically, the error states that the explosion date you are trying to use is not within the range of the specified simulation dates.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  The explosion date (the date when the product structure is to be exploded) is set outside the range of the simulation dates that have been defined in the system.
  There may be a mismatch in the configuration of the simulation parameters, leading to an invalid date range.
  The system may be configured to only allow certain date ranges for simulations, and the explosion date does not comply with these constraints.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Explosion Date: Verify the explosion date you are trying to use. Ensure that it is set correctly and is intended for the simulation you are running.
  
  
  Review Simulation Dates: Look at the simulation dates that have been defined in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction or configuration settings in SAP. Ensure that the explosion date falls within this range.
  
  
  Adjust Dates: If the explosion date is indeed outside the simulation date range, you will need to either:
  
  Change the explosion date to a valid date that falls within the simulation date range.
  Adjust the simulation date range to include the explosion date if that is appropriate for your business process.
  
  
  
  Configuration Settings: If you are unsure about how to adjust the simulation dates or explosion date, consult with your SAP administrator or a functional consultant who can help you with the configuration settings.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, re-run the simulation to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on your SAP version, you may use transaction codes like CS01, CS02, or CS03 for creating, changing, or displaying BOMs (Bill of Materials) which may be related to the explosion date.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for Product Structure Management for more detailed information on managing simulation dates and explosion dates.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If your organization has custom logic implemented, check for any user exits or BAdIs that might affect how dates are handled in your PSM processes.
