  The SAP error message M_OBOM_WB_GNRL029 indicates that a function you are trying to perform related to Bill of Materials (BOM) is not possible because there are no order BOMs available in the system. This typically occurs when you are attempting to create or manipulate a BOM for a production order, but the system cannot find any BOMs associated with that order.
  Cause:
  
  No Order BOMs Created: The primary cause of this error is that there are no order-specific BOMs created for the material or production order you are working with.
  Incorrect Material or Order: You may be trying to access BOMs for a material or production order that does not have any BOMs defined.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent the creation or visibility of order BOMs.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create Order BOM: 
  
  If you need to create an order BOM, you can do so by navigating to the appropriate transaction (e.g., CS01 for creating a BOM) and ensuring that you specify the correct material and order type.
  Make sure to select the correct BOM usage that corresponds to production orders.
  
  
  
  Check Existing BOMs:
  
  Use transaction CS03 to display existing BOMs for the material in question. Ensure that there is a BOM available for the specific material and that it is valid for the production order you are working with.
  
  
  
  Verify Material and Order:
  
  Double-check that you are using the correct material number and production order number. Ensure that the material is set up correctly in the system and that it is linked to the appropriate BOM.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration:
  
  If you suspect configuration issues, consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the BOM settings are correctly configured for production orders.
