Cause

User specific List table Variant saved without the field 'BOM usage'

While copying the BOM, the details of the source BOM need to be sent to the post call. Since this wasnt possible for usage, it was being sent as undefined and system was showing malformed URI literal syntax error.

Resolution

Update the User Variant to include the Column 'BOM Usage' or use Standard View.
