SAP Note 42891 - Recursiveness check

Component : Bills of Material -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/42891 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
In the given SAP Note, the system inaccurately flags non-recursive Bill of Materials (BOM) items as recursive. This occurs due to performance-oriented design choices where the system does not distinguish finer details during BOM explosion checks, treating all items under variant BOMs or configured materials uniformly, without considering effectivity, plant, or usage factors. The inclusions of these details would significantly degrade performance, thus the current method persists unchanged. Additionally, the underlying SAP data structure involves storing low-level codes in the MARA table, indicating material depth essential for managing BOM recursiveness efficiently but leads to potential misidentification issues in certain scenarios. This procedure is standard for all types of BOMs, including project and order BOMs.
