Missing Functionality

The Configuration activity 'Define Control Data for BOM Usage' setting “Mandatory CR” is not supported in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition for enforcing Change Record assignment; therefore it does not block BOM changes without a Change Record.

If you want to track BOM changes via an Engineering Change Number, It is possible to make Change Number mandatory during BOM creation or BOM update operations by using the restriction Authorization to Edit BOMs Without a Change Number 

The restriction type C_STUE_NOC is applicable for the Maintain Bill of Material (App Id: F1813) and (App Id: F1813A) apps.

There is currently no way to restrict the creation or change of BOMs without a Change Number in other applications such as Create Bill of Material (CS01) or Change Bill of Material (CS02)
