Error sending a BOMMAT from one 4.7 SAP system to another

Axel Angeli, Logosworld

Published: 04 Oct 2004

When sending a BOMMAT from one 4.7 SAP system to another 4.7 SAP system in which the BOM exists, the receiving system fails to load and gives a message that "Local BOM xxxxxxxx cannot be changed via ALE." Also, the items say "Local item xxxx cannot be changed via ALE." Is there some configuration that needs to be done to allow the replacement of BOMs or is there something in the IDoc that needs to be setup differently?
There seems to be something special with your BOM. I suggest you debug to the point where the message is issued (first try: set breakpoint at command "message").

How to replicate equipment on SAP using ALE and IDocs Ideally when you move master or transaction data from one system to another using ALE, the components that you need have already been defined. However, if some components are missing, you may be able to build them so that ALE can successfully manage the data transfer. This paper shows how ABAP and BADI code supplied missing components so that ALE could successfully send equipment data to another SAP system.
