  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VMP_MSG319 - No context BOM found for material & and usage & in plant & ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    VMP_MSG319 No context BOM found for material & and usage & in plant &


    Meaning / Cause:

    This error occurs when the system tries to find a Bill of Materials (BOM) for a specific material, BOM usage, and plant combination, but no valid BOM exists in the system for these parameters.

    • Material: The material number for which the BOM is being searched.
    • Usage: The BOM usage (e.g., production, engineering, costing) that defines the purpose of the BOM.
    • Plant: The plant in which the BOM should be valid.

    The system expects to find at least one BOM with the specified usage and plant for the material, but none is found.


    Common Causes:

    1. No BOM created for the material in the specified plant.
    2. BOM exists but not with the specified usage.
    3. BOM exists but is not valid or released for the plant.
    4. BOM is created but not active or flagged for the current date (validity period issue).
    5. Incorrect material master data or plant assignment.
    6. The BOM is created in a different plant or with a different usage than expected.

    Solution / How to Fix:

    1. Check BOM existence:

      • Use transaction CS03 (Display BOM) to check if a BOM exists for the material, usage, and plant.
      • Enter the material number, plant, and BOM usage to verify.
    2. Create or maintain BOM:

      • If no BOM exists, create one using CS01 (Create BOM).
      • Ensure the BOM usage matches the one expected by the process.
      • Assign the BOM to the correct plant.
    3. Check BOM validity:

      • Verify the validity dates of the BOM header and items.
      • Make sure the BOM is valid for the current date or the date of the transaction.
    4. Check BOM status:

      • Ensure the BOM is released and active.
      • Check if the BOM is flagged for deletion or blocked.
    5. Check material master data:

      • Verify that the material is extended to the correct plant.
      • Check if the material is active and valid in the plant.
    6. Check BOM usage:

      • Confirm that the BOM usage required by the process matches the BOM usage in the BOM.
    7. If BOM is maintained in a different plant:

      • Either create a BOM for the required plant or adjust the process to use the correct plant BOM.

    Additional Information:

    • BOM Usage: Defines the purpose of the BOM. Common usages include:
      • 1 = Production
      • 2 = Engineering
      • 3 = Costing
      • 4 = Plant maintenance
    • The system uses BOM usage to differentiate BOMs for different purposes for the same material.
    • BOMs are plant-specific; a BOM created for one plant is not automatically valid for another.
    • This error often appears during production order creation, costing, or MRP runs when the system tries to explode the BOM.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Error No BOM found for material & usage & plant &
    Cause BOM missing or invalid for given material, usage, and plant
    Solution Create or maintain BOM with correct usage and plant; check validity and release status
    Transaction CS01 (Create BOM), CS03 (Display BOM)

    If you provide the exact material, usage, and plant, I can help you with more specific steps or checks.
