• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VMP_MSG274 - VSM launch not possible; planning scope has MBOM(s) in draft state ?

  The SAP error message VMP_MSG274 indicates that the VSM (Value Stream Management) launch is not possible because the planning scope contains MBOMs (Manufacturing Bills of Materials) that are in a draft state. This typically occurs in environments where the planning and execution of manufacturing processes are tightly integrated with the use of MBOMs.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system is trying to initiate a VSM launch while there are MBOMs in a draft state within the specified planning scope. Draft MBOMs are not finalized and therefore cannot be used for planning or execution purposes. This can happen if:
  
  The MBOMs have been created but not yet released.
  There are changes made to the MBOMs that have not been saved or finalized.
  The planning scope is incorrectly defined, including draft MBOMs.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that all MBOMs within the planning scope are in a released state. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check MBOM Status: 
  
  Navigate to the MBOMs in question and check their status. You can do this through the SAP GUI by using transaction codes like CS03 (Display BOM) or CS02 (Change BOM).
  
  
  
  Release Draft MBOMs:
  
  If you find any MBOMs in draft status, you will need to release them. This can typically be done by using transaction CS02 to change the MBOM and then saving it in a released state.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Scope:
  
  Ensure that the planning scope you are using for the VSM launch does not include any draft MBOMs. You may need to adjust the planning scope to exclude these items.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review any relevant SAP documentation or notes related to VSM and MBOMs to ensure that you are following best practices.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, attempt to launch the VSM again to see if the error persists.
