How To Fix CK324 - Material & in plant & will not be costed because the BOM is recursive

CK324 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CK - Product Costing Messages

• Message number: 324

• Message text: Material & in plant & will not be costed because the BOM is recursive

What causes this issue?

You are attempting to cost material &V3& in plant &V4&. This material
contains material &V1& in plant &V2& which has a recursive BOM.

System Response

Material &V1& in plant &V2& is not costed. Instead, the system
determines the price from the material master record according to the
valuation strategy.

How to fix this error?

If you do not want the system to determine the price for material &V1&
in plant &V2& from the material master record, you can take the price
from a <DS:GLOS.cost_estimate_without_quantity_structure>cost estimate
without quantity structure</>.
Deselect the <DS:DE.CK_EKALREL>With quantity structure</> indicator in
the costing view of the master record of material &V1& in plant &V2&.
Create a cost estimate without quantity structure for material &V1& in
plant &V2&.
Create a cost estimate with quantity structure for material &V3& in
plant &V4&.
The result of the cost estimate without quantity structure for the
material that has the recursive BOM is then incorporated into the cost
estimate with quantity structure for material &V3&.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK324 - Material & in plant & will not be costed because the BOM is recursive ?

  The SAP error message CK324 indicates that a material in a specific plant cannot be costed due to a recursive Bill of Materials (BOM). This typically occurs when a BOM references itself directly or indirectly, creating a loop that prevents the costing process from completing.
  
  Cause:
  
  Recursive BOM: The most common cause of this error is that the BOM for the material includes itself as a component, either directly or through a chain of components. This creates a circular reference that confuses the costing process.
  Incorrect BOM Structure: Sometimes, the BOM may be incorrectly structured due to data entry errors or incorrect configuration.
  Changes in BOM: Recent changes to the BOM structure or components may have introduced recursion that was not present before.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the BOM: Check the BOM for the material in question. Look for any components that reference the material itself, either directly or indirectly. You can use transaction code CS03 to display
