• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 61227 - Error: non-stock component &1 with in-house production is recursive ?

  The SAP error message 61227 indicates that there is a recursive issue with a non-stock component that is set for in-house production. This typically occurs when a component in a Bill of Materials (BOM) is defined in such a way that it references itself, either directly or indirectly, which creates a loop in the production process.
  Cause:
  
  Recursive BOM Structure: The most common cause of this error is that the BOM for a material includes a component that is also produced from the same material, leading to a circular reference.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the material master or BOM may have been set incorrectly, causing the system to interpret the production process as recursive.
  In-house Production Settings: The material is marked for in-house production, but its BOM structure does not support this due to the recursive nature.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review BOM Structure: Check the BOM for the material in question. Look for any components that may reference the parent material or any other components that lead back to the parent material.
  
  Use transaction code CS03 to display the BOM and analyze the components.
  
  
  
  Correct the BOM: If you find a recursive reference, you will need to modify the BOM to remove the circular reference. This may involve:
  
  Changing the component to a different material that does not reference back to the parent.
  Adjusting the production strategy to avoid in-house production for that component if it is not necessary.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master Settings: Ensure that the material master settings for the non-stock component are correctly configured. This includes checking the production type and ensuring it aligns with the intended use.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on BOM configuration and in-house production settings.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the production order or planning run again to ensure that the error is resolved.
