Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE796 - Only single-level BOM is supported. Please remove component &. ?

  The SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE796 indicates that you are trying to create or modify a Bill of Materials (BOM) that includes components at multiple levels, but the system only supports single-level BOMs for the operation you are attempting. This typically occurs in scenarios where the system expects a flat BOM structure but encounters a hierarchical one.
  Cause:
  
  Multi-Level BOM: The BOM you are trying to work with contains components that themselves have sub-components, making it a multi-level BOM.
  Transaction Limitation: The transaction or function you are using may only support single-level BOMs, which means it cannot process BOMs that have nested components.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue in the system that is causing it to misinterpret the BOM structure.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Flatten the BOM: If you need to proceed with the operation, you will need to create a single-level BOM. This means you should remove any components that have their own sub-components. You can do this by:
  
  Identifying the components that are causing the issue.
  Removing or replacing them with their individual parts if necessary.
  
  
  
  Use Appropriate Transaction: If you need to work with multi-level BOMs, ensure you are using the correct transaction or function that supports multi-level BOMs. For example, transactions like CS01 (Create BOM) or CS02 (Change BOM) can handle multi-level BOMs, but you need to ensure you are not in a context that restricts you to single-level.
  
  
  Check BOM Structure: Review the BOM structure in the system to ensure it is set up correctly. You can use transaction CS03 (Display BOM) to view the current structure and make necessary adjustments.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on BOM structures and the limitations of the transaction you are using.
  
  
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who can provide more tailored assistance based on your specific configuration and requirements.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BOM Types: Understand the different types of BOMs in SAP (e.g., single-level, multi-level, variant BOMs) and their use cases.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional context.
  Training and Documentation: Consider training sessions or documentation on BOM management in SAP to better understand how to work with them effectively.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully manage your BOMs in SAP.
