  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSTP033 - Deposit calculation not possible because of missing empties BOM
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the deposit calculation process in SAP when the system tries to determine the deposit amount for a product but cannot find a Bill of Materials (BOM) for the empties (returnable packaging or containers) associated with the product. The deposit calculation depends on the BOM of empties to identify the components (e.g., bottles, crates) that carry a deposit value.
  In other words, the system expects a BOM for the empties material to calculate the deposit, but this BOM is missing or not maintained.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Deposit Calculation: In industries like beverage or chemical, products often come with returnable packaging (empties) that have a deposit value.
  Empties BOM: The BOM for empties lists the packaging components that are subject to deposit.
  If the BOM for the empties material is missing, SAP cannot calculate the deposit amount, hence the error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Maintain the Empties BOM:
  
  Go to transaction CS01 (Create BOM) or CS02 (Change BOM).
  Enter the empties material number (the packaging material).
  Create or maintain the BOM for the empties material, listing all components that carry a deposit.
  Save the BOM.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Verify that the empties material is correctly assigned in the product master data.
  Ensure that the material is flagged as returnable packaging if applicable.
  
  
  
  Verify Deposit Configuration:
  
  Check the deposit configuration in customizing (SPRO) to ensure that the system is set up to calculate deposits based on BOM.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Deposit Calculation:
  
  After maintaining the BOM, retry the deposit calculation process.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transactions:
  
  CS01 - Create BOM
  CS02 - Change BOM
  MM03 - Display Material Master
  SPRO - Customizing for deposit management
  
  
  
  SAP Modules Involved:
  
  Sales and Distribution (SD)
  Logistics Execution (LE)
  Plant Maintenance (PM) or Production Planning (PP) for BOM management
  Deposit Management (if implemented)
  
  
  
  Notes:
  
  Ensure that the BOM is valid for the plant and usage relevant to the deposit calculation.
  The BOM should be of the correct BOM usage type (e.g., sales or packaging BOM).
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  Error WSTP033 indicates that the system cannot calculate the deposit because the BOM for the empties material is missing. The solution is to create or maintain the BOM for the empties material so that the system can identify the components subject to deposit and perform the calculation correctly.
