  The SAP error message CRM_PRODUCT011 indicates that a component (identified by &2) occurs multiple times in a bill of material (BOM) identified by &1. This error typically arises when you are trying to create or modify a BOM in the SAP CRM system, and the system detects that the same component is listed more than once.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entries: The most common cause of this error is that the same component has been added multiple times to the BOM. This can happen due to manual entry errors or issues during data migration.
  Incorrect BOM Structure: The structure of the BOM may not be set up correctly, leading to the same component being referenced multiple times.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the BOM or the product structure in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check BOM Entries: Review the BOM for the product in question. Look for duplicate entries of the component &2 in the BOM &1. Remove any duplicates to ensure that each component is listed only once.
  Modify BOM Structure: If the BOM is intended to have multiple instances of the same component (for example, if it is a multi-level BOM), consider restructuring the BOM to reflect this correctly. You may need to create subassemblies or use alternative methods to represent the components.
  Data Validation: If the BOM was imported or migrated from another system, validate the data to ensure that it adheres to the expected structure and does not contain duplicates.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize transaction codes like CS02 (Change BOM) or CS03 (Display BOM) to view and edit the BOM entries.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on BOM management and structure.
  
  Related Information:
  
  BOM Types: Understand the different types of BOMs (e.g., single-level, multi-level) and how they are structured in SAP.
