Error coming while creating BOM for AFS module for second alternate BOM

[former_member522703]

Hi,

I am creating BOM for AFS using BAPI "/AFS/BAPI_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN". For first alternate BOM it is creating successfully. When i try to create the same material, plant and sales_BOM(5) with the next alternate type i am getting an error saying that "Alternate BOM does not exist"(Msg id 29 and num 037). The control is going to this bapi "CS_BT_MASTB_READ" and then throwing the said error.

Can any one suggest a solution for this ?

Dear Siva,

I have searched for similar topics, and found, that this is rather an LO-MD-BOM related question, based on the message you get.

"as standard you cannot use CSAP_MAT_BOM_CREATE to create alternative BOM's.

The only, in SAP standard existing, way to create alternative BOMs would be to use the BAPIBAPI_MATERIAL_BOM_GROUP_CREATE

Please check the following link to create alternate BOM's.

Also refer to the following notes.
