• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FRMLAPI271 - Comp. is not exploded; comp. type is not rel. for explosion; &1 &2 &3 &4 ?

  The SAP error message FRMLAPI271 indicates that a component in a bill of materials (BOM) is not exploded because its component type is not relevant for explosion. This typically occurs in the context of production planning and material requirements planning (MRP) when trying to explode a BOM to see the components required for production.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors:
  
  Component Type Settings: The component type of the item in the BOM is set in such a way that it is not allowed to be exploded. This could be due to the configuration of the material master or BOM settings.
  BOM Configuration: The BOM may have been configured incorrectly, or the component may not be set up as a valid part for explosion.
  Material Master Data: The material master data for the component may not be set up correctly, particularly the MRP views.
  BOM Status: The BOM may be in a status that does not allow for explosion (e.g., inactive or not released).
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Component Type:
  
  Go to the BOM and check the component type of the item that is causing the error. Ensure that it is set to a type that is relevant for explosion (e.g., stock item).
  You can check this in the BOM transaction (CS02) or in the material master (MM02).
  
  
  
  Review BOM Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the BOM is correctly configured and that all components are set up properly.
  Check if the component is marked as a phantom assembly or a non-stock item, which may prevent it from being exploded.
  
  
  
  Material Master Data:
  
  Verify the material master data for the component. Ensure that the MRP views are correctly maintained and that the material is set up for planning.
  Check the MRP type and ensure it is appropriate for the component.
  
  
  
  BOM Status:
  
  Ensure that the BOM is active and released. You can check the status in the BOM transaction.
  If the BOM is not released, you will need to release it to allow for explosion.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on component types and their relevance for explosion.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, try to explode the BOM again to see if the issue is resolved.

  Component Types: Common component types include stock items, non-stock items, and phantom assemblies. Each type has different implications for how they are treated in BOMs.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to BOM explosion and component types.
  
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in production planning and BOM management.
