  Error Message
  VMP_MSG350: No valid BOMs found for the material
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system cannot find any valid Bill of Materials (BOM) for the specified material in the context of the current production or planning scenario. The reasons can include:
  
  No BOM created for the material in the system.
  The BOM exists but is not valid for the plant or the current date.
  The BOM is not released or not active.
  The BOM usage does not match the requirement (e.g., BOM usage 1 for production is missing).
  The BOM is created but missing components or incomplete.
  The material master data or BOM data is inconsistent or incomplete.
  The BOM is valid but not valid for the specific production version or routing.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, perform the following checks and actions:
  
  
  Check if BOM exists for the material:
  
  Use transaction CS03 (Display BOM) to verify if a BOM exists for the material.
  Enter the material number, plant, and BOM usage (usually 1 for production).
  
  
  
  Check BOM validity:
  
  Verify the validity dates of the BOM header and BOM items.
  Ensure the BOM is valid for the plant and the current date.
  
  
  
  Check BOM status:
  
  Ensure the BOM is released and active.
  Check if the BOM is flagged as valid for production.
  
  
  
  Check BOM usage:
  
  Confirm that the BOM usage corresponds to the process (e.g., usage 1 for production, usage 3 for engineering).
  If necessary, create or maintain the BOM with the correct usage.
  
  
  
  Check Production Version:
  
  If production versions are used, verify that a valid production version exists for the material and plant.
  Use transaction C223 to check production versions.
  The production version links the BOM and routing; if missing or invalid, the system cannot find a valid BOM.
  
  
  
  Maintain or create BOM if missing:
  
  If no BOM exists, create one using transaction CS01.
  Ensure all components are correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Check material master data:
  
  Verify that the material is correctly maintained for production (e.g., MRP type, production plant).
  Use transaction MM03 to check material master.
  
  
  
  Check authorization and system settings:
  
  Ensure you have the necessary authorization to view or use BOMs.
  Check if any user-exits or customizations affect BOM determination.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information
  
  
  Transactions:
  
  CS01 – Create BOM
  CS02 – Change BOM
  CS03 – Display BOM
  C223 – Maintain Production Version
  MM03 – Display Material Master
  
  
  
  SAP Notes:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to BOM and production version issues if the problem persists.
  
  
  
  Common scenarios:
  
  This error often appears during production order creation, MRP run, or capacity planning when the system tries to explode the BOM but cannot find a valid one.
  
  
  
  Additional tips:
  
  If multiple BOMs exist, ensure the correct BOM usage and validity period are set.
  Synchronize BOM and routing via production versions to avoid inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  
  If you follow these steps, you should be able to identify why the system cannot find a valid BOM and correct the issue accordingly.
