C2222 - Details

• The SAP error message C2222 indicates that a change made to a characteristic of a material does not trigger a new Bill of Materials (BOM) explosion. This typically occurs in the context of variant configuration, where materials are defined with characteristics that can be changed to create different variants of a product.
  
  Cause:
  
  Characteristic Change: The error arises when a characteristic of a configurable material is changed, but the system does not recognize this change as significant enough to warrant a new BOM explosion.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings for the material may not be set up to trigger a new BOM explosion for certain changes.
  BOM Explosion Control: The BOM explosion control settings may not be configured to respond to changes in specific characteristics.
  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data setup, such as missing dependencies or incorrect configuration profiles.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Characteristic Dependencies: Review the dependencies associated with the material. Ensure
