• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DG693 - Material &1 is a multiple component material (component: &2) ?

  The SAP error message DG693 indicates that you are trying to perform an operation on a material that is defined as a multiple component material (also known as a BOM - Bill of Materials) in SAP. This typically occurs when you are attempting to process a material that has components associated with it, but the system is expecting a single component material.
  Cause:
