Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CDESK_SRV_MESSAGES226 - Header and component material of the BOM cannot be same - &1. ?

  The SAP error message CDESK_SRV_MESSAGES226 indicates that there is an issue with the Bill of Materials (BOM) where the header material and one of the component materials are the same. This is a validation error that prevents the creation or modification of a BOM in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to create or modify a BOM and the system detects that the header material (the main product for which the BOM is being created) is listed as one of its own components. This is not allowed because a material cannot be a component of itself in a BOM structure.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check the BOM Structure: Review the BOM you are trying to create or modify. Ensure that the header material is not included as one of its components.
  
  
  Remove the Header Material from Components: If the header material is mistakenly included in the list of components, remove it from the BOM.
  
  
  Create a New BOM: If necessary, create a new BOM with the correct components that do not include the header material.
  
  
  Validate the BOM: After making the necessary changes, validate the BOM to ensure that it meets all requirements and does not contain any other errors.
