  Solution:
  
  Check Material Type: Verify the material type of the replacement material. If it is a BOM, you will need to select a different material that is not a BOM.
  Use Standard Materials: Ensure that the replacement material is a standard material (e.g., finished goods, raw materials) and not a BOM.
  Review Substitution Settings: If you are using material substitution functionality, check the configuration settings in the material master and the substitution rules to ensure they are set up correctly.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on material substitution and BOM usage.
