• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FINB_CONFIG116 - Cyclical dependencies of configurable components (such as &1&) ?

  The SAP error message FINB_CONFIG116 indicates that there are cyclical dependencies among configurable components in a configuration scenario. This typically occurs in the context of variant configuration in SAP, where components are interdependent in a way that creates a loop, making it impossible for the system to resolve the configuration.
  
  Cause:
  
  Cyclical Dependencies: The primary cause of this error is that two or more configurable components reference each other in a way that creates a cycle. For example, Component A may depend on Component B, and Component B may depend on Component A.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the components may have been set up incorrectly, leading to these cyclical references.
  Modeling Errors: Errors in the modeling of the product structure or characteristics can also lead to this issue.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration of the components involved. Look for any circular references in the dependencies and remove or adjust them.
  Adjust Dependencies: Modify the
