• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FOX0062 - Explosion start declared for non-top object &1 ?

  The SAP error message FOX0062, which states "Explosion start declared for non-top object &1," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Production Planning (PP) or Material Requirements Planning (MRP) modules. This error indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the bill of materials (BOM) or the way the explosion of materials is being handled in the system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Non-Top Level Object: The error suggests that the system is trying to initiate an explosion (i.e., a process to determine the components required for a product) for an object that is not defined as a top-level item in the BOM. In SAP, a top-level item is usually the finished product or assembly that is at the highest level in the BOM hierarchy.
  
  
  BOM Configuration Issues: There may be issues with how the BOM is configured, such as missing or incorrect settings for the item in question.
  
  
  Incorrect Planning Parameters: The planning parameters for the material may not be set correctly, leading the system to misinterpret the item hierarchy.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BOM Configuration: 
  
  Verify that the BOM for the material in question is correctly defined. Ensure that the item is indeed a top-level item or that it is correctly linked to a top-level item in the BOM hierarchy.
  Use transaction code CS03 to display the BOM and check the structure.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Check the material master data for the item. Ensure that the item is set up correctly in terms of its type (e.g., finished product, semi-finished product) and that it has the appropriate BOM and routing assigned.
  
  
  
  Adjust Planning Parameters:
  
  Review the planning parameters for the material using transaction code MM02 or MM03. Ensure that the settings for MRP type, lot size, and other relevant fields are appropriate for the material.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  If the item is part of a larger assembly, ensure that all dependencies and relationships in the BOM are correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for further insights into BOM configuration and MRP settings.
  
  
  
  Testing: 
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, perform a test run of the MRP or planning process to see if the error persists.
