• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VMP_MSG354 - No Bill of Material is selected from the list ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message VMP_MSG354: "No Bill of Material is selected from the list":
  
  Error Message:
  VMP_MSG354: No Bill of Material is selected from the list
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you are trying to proceed with a process (such as production order creation, process order creation, or any transaction involving BOM selection) but have not selected any Bill of Material (BOM) from the available list.
  In SAP, when multiple BOMs are available for a material (e.g., alternative BOMs, valid for different plants or dates), the system prompts you to select one. If you do not select any BOM and try to continue, this error is triggered.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During creation or change of production/process orders.
  When multiple BOMs exist for a material and the system requires you to select one.
  When the BOM selection screen appears but no BOM is chosen before proceeding.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Select a BOM from the list:
  
  When the system displays the list of BOMs, make sure to select the appropriate BOM by clicking on it.
  Confirm your selection before proceeding.
  
  
  
  Check BOM availability:
  
  Verify that BOMs exist for the material in the relevant plant and validity period.
  Use transaction CS03 (Display BOM) to check BOMs for the material.
  
  
  
  Check BOM status and validity:
  
  Ensure the BOM is released and valid for the date and plant.
  If no BOM is valid, create or maintain a BOM using CS01 or CS02.
  
  
  
  If the system does not display BOMs:
  
  Check if the material master has the correct BOM usage maintained.
  Verify if the BOM usage (e.g., production, costing) is correctly set.
  
  
  
  User training:
  
  Train users to always select a BOM when prompted.
  Avoid skipping the selection screen.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  BOM Usage: BOMs can have different usages (e.g., 1 for production, 3 for costing). The system filters BOMs based on usage.
  Alternative BOMs: Multiple BOMs can exist for the same material for different scenarios.
  BOM Validity: BOMs have validity dates; ensure the BOM is valid for the order date.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  CS01 - Create BOM
  CS02 - Change BOM
  CS03 - Display BOM
  CO01 - Create Production Order
  COR1 - Create Process Order
