• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BAPI1080024 - Variant BOMs do not permit assignment with the same material ?

  The SAP error message BAPI1080024 indicates that there is an issue with the assignment of a variant Bill of Materials (BOM) where the same material is being assigned multiple times. This typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a variant BOM in SAP and the system detects that the same material is being assigned more than once, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Material Assignment: The most common cause of this error is that the same material is being assigned to the variant BOM more than once. Variant BOMs are designed to allow for different configurations of a product, but each material can only be assigned once within a specific variant BOM.
  Incorrect Data Input: There may be an error in the data being passed to the BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface) that is causing the same material to be included multiple times.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with how the variant BOM is configured in the system, leading to conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Material Assignments: Review the materials being assigned to the variant BOM. Ensure that each material is unique and not duplicated in the assignment list.
  Data Validation: If you are using a BAPI to create or modify the BOM, validate the input data to ensure that it does not contain duplicates. You may need to implement checks in your code to prevent this from happening.
  Review BOM Configuration: Check the configuration of the variant BOM in the SAP system. Ensure that it is set up correctly and that there are no conflicting settings.
  Use Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like CS01 (Create BOM), CS02 (Change BOM), or CS03 (Display BOM) to manually check the BOM and see if there are any duplicate entries.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on how to work with variant BOMs and the specific requirements for material assignments.
