• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VMP_MSG295 - Non versioned BOM for &1 does not exist ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  VMP_MSG295 Non versioned BOM for &1 does not exist
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to access a non-versioned Bill of Materials (BOM) for a material (indicated by &1), but such a BOM does not exist in the system.
  
  BOM (Bill of Materials): A structured list of components or raw materials needed to produce a product.
  Non-versioned BOM: A BOM without version management, i.e., the system expects a BOM without any version assigned.
  The system is likely trying to find a BOM for a material that either:
  
  Has no BOM created at all.
  Has only versioned BOMs, but no non-versioned BOM.
  The BOM exists but is not valid for the plant or usage specified.
  
  
  
  This error is common in scenarios involving production planning, material requirements planning (MRP), or when creating production orders where the BOM is mandatory.
  
  Common Causes:
  
  No BOM created for the material: The material does not have any BOM assigned.
  Only versioned BOMs exist: The system expects a non-versioned BOM but only versioned BOMs are maintained.
  Incorrect BOM usage or plant: The BOM exists but not for the plant or usage specified in the transaction.
  Incorrect configuration or master data: The material master or BOM master data is incomplete or inconsistent.
  Wrong selection in the transaction: The transaction or process is set to look for a non-versioned BOM, but the BOM is versioned.
  
  
  How to Check / Verify:
  
  Check BOM for the material:
  
  Use transaction CS03 (Display BOM).
  Enter the material number and plant.
  Check if a BOM exists.
  Check if the BOM is versioned or non-versioned.
  
  
  Check BOM usage and validity:
  
  Verify the BOM usage (e.g., production, engineering).
  Check the validity dates of the BOM.
  
  
  Check material master data:
  
  Use transaction MM03.
  Verify the MRP views and BOM relevant data.
  
  
  Check the transaction or process:
  
  Confirm if the process expects a versioned or non-versioned BOM.
  Adjust accordingly.
  
  
  
  
  Solution / Resolution:
  
  Create a non-versioned BOM for the material if it does not exist:
  
  Use transaction CS01 (Create BOM).
  Create a BOM without specifying a version.
  
  
  Use a versioned BOM if required:
  
  If the process requires a versioned BOM, maintain the BOM version accordingly.
  Adjust the process or configuration to accept versioned BOMs.
  
  
  Adjust the process or configuration:
  
  If the process is incorrectly set to look for a non-versioned BOM, change it to accept versioned BOMs.
  
  
  Maintain BOM for the correct plant and usage:
  
  Ensure BOM is maintained for the plant and usage relevant to the process.
  
  
  Check validity dates:
  
  Make sure the BOM is valid for the date of the transaction.
  
  
  Consult with SAP support or functional consultant if the issue persists, especially if it relates to custom developments or specific industry solutions.
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is part of the Variant Configuration (LO-VC) or Production Planning (PP) module.
  The message class is usually VMP (Variant Management).
  The error can occur during order creation, MRP runs, or variant configuration when the system tries to explode the BOM.
  SAP Notes and documentation related to BOM and variant configuration may provide further insights.
