System Response

If your system administration has configured the message as a warning,
you can save the product without any components. However, you must then
enter the components at a later point.

How to fix this error?

Articles without components lead to problems in the subsequent logistics
processes (such as goods receipt). This means that you must assign
components to the product before you list it. In integrated article
maintenance, you cannot list a structured product without components.
However, if you use external listing programs, the system does not check
whether any components or an empties BOM exists. This means that an
inconsistently maintained product could become a part of the logistics
processes.
