Error in using functional module CS_BOM_EXPLOSION

Question

Hi Experts,
I am using the functional module CS_BOM_EXPLOSION to explode a BOM to its components. When it is beign called in a custom program, it throws an exception message as "No alternative found (Exception 01)". But when  it is executed in test mode (tcode SE37), it does not issue such warning message and gives the result accurately.
Below are the parameters used for exploding the BOM.
        FUNCTION 'CS_BOM_EXPLOSION'
        EXPORTING
            CAPID = BOM Application; PP01
            DATUV = BOM Explosion date; System date
            EMENG = Base Quantity
            MTNRV = Parent Material
            WERKS = Plant
            STLAL = Alternative BOM
            STLAN = BOM Usage
            MEHRS = Whether multilevel BOM explosion is required (Then put X)
            MDMPS = BOM explosion level (Level 1, 2, 3u2026..)
Please provide me with a solution as to use the same in the program.
Thanks in advance,
Ramindu

Dear Ramindu,
Ensure you are entering a value say 01 or 02 or 03 for alternative BOM.
A Product may be having one or more than one alternative BOM.
Say a product X has only one BOM,then in this case the value will be 01.
Suppose if its having 2 different BOM's then the values will be 01 and 02.
So in test mode you may be checking with a different material code and also giving 01 as the value for
the alternative BOM.
Check whether the same is happening in the custom program also.
Check and revert back.
