• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BAPI1080025 - Single-level BOMS do not permit variants or alternatives ?

  The SAP error message BAPI1080025 indicates that you are trying to use a single-level Bill of Materials (BOM) in a way that is not permitted. Specifically, this error occurs when you attempt to create or manipulate a BOM that is defined as a single-level BOM, but you are trying to include variants or alternatives, which is not allowed for this type of BOM.
  Cause:
  
  Single-Level BOM: A single-level BOM is a straightforward list of components that are directly used in the production of a product. It does not support complex structures like variants or alternatives.
  Incorrect BOM Type: You may be using a BOM type that is not designed to handle variants or alternatives. For example, if you are using a BOM type that is strictly for single-level BOMs, you cannot include alternative components or variants.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check BOM Type: Ensure that you are using the correct BOM type that supports variants or alternatives. If you need to include variants or alternatives, consider using a multi-level BOM or a BOM type that allows for such configurations.
  Modify BOM Structure: If you need to maintain a single-level BOM, you will need to remove any variants or alternative components from your BOM definition.
  Use Alternative BOMs: If your business process requires the use of variants, consider creating alternative BOMs that can accommodate these requirements.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in your SAP system to ensure that the BOM types and their capabilities are correctly set up.
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  BOM Types: Familiarize yourself with the different BOM types available in SAP and their capabilities. Common BOM types include:

  SAP Documentation: Refer to the SAP Help Portal or your organization's SAP documentation for detailed information on BOM management and the specific configurations of BOM types.
  
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like CS01 (Create BOM), CS02 (Change BOM), and CS03 (Display BOM) to manage BOMs in SAP.
  
  
  By following these steps and understanding the limitations of single-level BOMs, you should be able to resolve the error and properly configure your BOMs in SAP.
