• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VMP_MSG292 - Versioned BOM for &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message:
  VMP_MSG292: Versioned BOM for &1 does not exist
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to access a versioned Bill of Materials (BOM) for a material or product (indicated by &1, which is replaced by the material number in the actual message), but no versioned BOM exists for that material in the system.
  In SAP, a versioned BOM means that the BOM is managed with version control, allowing multiple versions of the BOM to exist for the same material, each valid for different periods or purposes.
  Common causes include:
  
  The material does not have any BOM created with version management activated.
  The BOM exists but is not marked as versioned.
  The BOM version is not valid or not maintained for the date or plant in question.
  The system is expecting a versioned BOM due to configuration or process, but none exists.
  
  
  When does this error typically occur?
  
  During production order creation or processing.
  When running MRP or other planning transactions that require BOM explosion.
  When using version management in BOMs but the BOM is missing or incomplete.
  When a process or program explicitly requires a versioned BOM but the BOM is maintained as non-versioned.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix:
  
  
  Check if BOM exists for the material:
  
  Use transaction CS03 (Display BOM) to check if a BOM exists for the material.
  If no BOM exists, create one using CS01.
  
  
  
  Check if BOM is versioned:
  
  In the BOM header, check if version management is activated.
  If version management is not activated, either:
  
  Activate version management for the BOM (if business process requires versioned BOMs).
  Or adjust the process/configuration so that versioned BOM is not mandatory.
  
  
  
  
  
  Create or maintain versioned BOM:
  
  Use CS01 to create a BOM with version management.
  Assign versions and validity dates properly.
  Ensure the BOM version is valid for the date and plant in question.
  
  
  
  Check configuration or process requirements:
  
  Sometimes, the system or custom code expects versioned BOMs.
  If versioned BOMs are not used in your process, adjust the configuration or code to accept non-versioned BOMs.
  
  
  
  Check the plant and usage:
  
  BOMs are plant-specific.
  Make sure the BOM exists for the correct plant and usage.
  
  
  
  Check the validity dates:
  
  The BOM version must be valid for the date of the order or planning run.

  Version Management in BOM:
  
  Version management allows multiple BOM versions for the same material.
  Each version can have validity dates.
  Useful for engineering changes, product variants, etc.
