BOM Problem - CO01 - No valid BOM exists

[Former Member]

Hello everyone.

I know there are a large number of threads on here related to BOM functionality, and I've read a large number of them. I've been fighting and researching this for over a week, and cannot find the issue in my configuration (and I am nearly certain it is my configuration).

So here's what I have. My BOM Material is set up:

I have created the BOM:

And here is the problem. When I try to create a Production Order, either with CO01 (Manual Production Order) or MD11/CO40 (Planned Order/Convert a Planned Order), I get the same result:

As I said, I've been checking the forums and answers here, and have not found anything that helps. I can't move past this.

Another issue I'm having is, when I add ANY material to a sales order, one that has nothing to do with a BOM, I get the following message (with associated detail):

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Please check below points :

1. Are you creating production order with reference to sales order?

2. Kindly check your BOM usage if this is for sales - use 5 and for production - use 1, You can try with BOM usage 3 also.

3. Are you using ECC or HANA system ? In HANA production version is mandatory.

4. Also check BOM status is header , whether BOM is active or inactive?

5. Check BOM, Routing and PV valid from date.

6. In sales order issue, Kindly check your order type, item category group in material master

Hi Steve Oswald,

Based on the info. shared in the reported issue, would like to suggest the below Steps

1.) Change the BOM Usage = 3 ( Universal >>> Can be applicable for any purpose)

2.) I am not sure, which version of SAP System you are currently working, If you are working with S/4 HANA System, then Production version is Mandatory, to create the Production Order
From the screen shots, it seems, there is no Production version Maintained for the Material : 2029, in the Plant: GXWI ( if already maintained, please ignore this point)

No

Note : For Production Version, you need to have BOM & Routing
After maintaining the above 2 Points mentioned, try to create the Production Order.
If you still facing the Problem, kindly revert back with more details. Thanks & Regards : Raja

The screen what has been shared is related to Sales Bom. For Production Order, the BOM Usage should be 1 (yours shows 5) with application PP01 whereas, in the screen shot of the error message, it says, the application SD01 which is not related to production order but related to sale order

Hi Steve,

BOM usage 5 is meant for sale order BOM and during sales order creation, the BOM for this material gets identified and used. BOM usage 1 is used for production purpose, where this gets identified during production order creation in CO01 or planned order creation.

You are trying to use BOM usage 5 as BOM usage 1 where certain config elements are different. And if you try to match both, then better you use BOM usage 1 which resolves the problem. Enclosed the config screen here.

Is this mean, we should not use BOM usage 5 for production? - Basic intent of SAP providing this usage is for sales, usually used in MTO (make to order) scenario. But it said as "optional entry" in standard setting. But when you have usage 1 for production, use the same as your intent is met.

Coming to second question - since you used BOM Usage 5, during sale order creation BOM explosion is tried where BOM identification is not happening. Several reasons for it, you need to check the root cause either it could be master data (BOM status which is correct in your case, validity date) or item category in VOV4 etc.

You can try to change BOM Usage to '2' maybe.
