• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M_OBOM_WB_GNRL035 - You are not authorized to use this version ?

  The SAP error message M_OBOM_WB_GNRL035 indicates that a user is not authorized to use a specific version of a Bill of Materials (BOM) in the system. This typically occurs when a user attempts to access or modify a BOM version for which they do not have the necessary permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to access the specific BOM version. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user profile.
  Version Control: The BOM version may be locked or restricted for certain users or user groups.
  Configuration Settings: The system may have specific settings that restrict access to certain BOM versions based on user roles or organizational units.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction code PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions for BOM access.

  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, work with your SAP security team to update the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required permissions for BOM access.
  
  
  
  Review BOM Version Settings:
  
  Check the BOM version settings in transaction code CS02 (Change BOM) or CS03 (Display BOM) to see if the version is restricted.
