• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VMP_MSG355 - Deleted target BOM(s) has been removed from planning scope ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation regarding the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  VMP_MSG355: Deleted target BOM(s) has been removed from planning scope
  
  Cause:
  This message occurs during the Product Cost Planning or Material Requirements Planning (MRP) run when the system detects that a target BOM (Bill of Materials), which was previously used or planned, has been deleted or removed from the planning scope.
  
  The target BOM is the BOM version that is currently active or planned for production.
  If this BOM is deleted or no longer valid (e.g., marked as deleted or removed from the planning scope), the system cannot use it for planning or costing.
  This situation often arises when BOMs are changed, deleted, or when the planning scope is adjusted (e.g., filtering out certain BOMs or materials).
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  The system informs you that the BOM(s) that were previously considered in planning have been deleted or excluded.
  This is a warning or informational message indicating that the planning run will not consider these BOMs anymore.
  It helps avoid inconsistencies in planning or costing results due to missing BOM data.
  
  
  Solution / How to Resolve:
  
  
  Check BOM Status:
  
  Verify if the BOM(s) mentioned in the message have indeed been deleted or marked as deleted.
  Use transaction CS03 (Display BOM) to check the BOM status.
  If the BOM is deleted but still required, consider restoring or recreating it.
  
  
  
  Review Planning Scope:
  
  Check the planning scope settings in your MRP or costing run.
  Ensure that the BOMs you want to plan are included in the scope.
  Adjust filters or selection criteria if necessary.
  
  
  
  Update BOMs:
  
  If BOMs have been replaced or changed, update the material master or routing accordingly.
  Make sure the correct BOM version is assigned and active.
  
  
  
  Re-run Planning:
  
  After correcting BOM status or planning scope, re-run the planning or costing process.
  The message should no longer appear if BOMs are valid and included.
  
  
  
  Check for Customizing or User Exits:
  
  Sometimes, custom logic or user exits might exclude BOMs from planning.
  Review any custom code or settings that might affect BOM selection.
