• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CK877 - Sales order costing not possible for recursive configurable materials ?

  The SAP error message CK877 indicates that sales order costing is not possible for recursive configurable materials. This typically occurs in the context of product costing and sales order management when dealing with configurable materials that have recursive dependencies.
  
  Cause:
  
  
  Recursive Configurable Materials: The error arises when a configurable material is set up in such a way that it references itself or has a circular dependency in its configuration. This can happen if the configuration of a material includes components that are also configurable materials, leading to a loop.
  
  
  Costing Configuration: The costing configuration for the material may not be set up correctly, or the system may not be able to determine the cost structure due to the recursive nature of the components.
  
  
  Sales Order Settings: The sales order may not be configured to handle the costing of such materials, especially if the configuration is complex.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Material Configuration: Check the configuration of the material
