• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_PRODUCT_BOM104 - Header product &1 is not configurable ?

  The SAP error message COM_PRODUCT_BOM104 indicates that the header product specified in the bill of materials (BOM) is not configured as a configurable product. This typically occurs in scenarios where you are trying to create or manage a BOM for a product that is expected to have configurable characteristics, but the system does not recognize it as such.
  Cause:
  
  Non-configurable Product: The header product is defined in the system as a non-configurable product. This means it does not have the necessary characteristics or settings to be treated as a configurable product.
  Incorrect Product Type: The product type assigned to the header product may not support configuration.
  Missing Configuration Settings: The product may not have been set up correctly in the system to allow for configuration, such as missing class assignments or characteristics.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Product Configuration:
  
  Verify that the header product is indeed intended to be a configurable product. You can do this by checking the product master data in the SAP system.
  Ensure that the product is assigned to a class that supports configuration.
  
  
  
  Adjust Product Settings:
  
  If the product should be configurable, you may need to change its settings. This can involve:
  
  Assigning the product to a suitable class.
  Defining characteristics and values for the product.
  Ensuring that the configuration profile is correctly assigned to the product.
  
  
  
  
  
  Create a Configurable Product:
  
  If the product is not meant to be configurable, you may need to create a new configurable product or adjust your BOM to reference a different product that is configurable.
