  The SAP error message FRMLAPI279, which states "Standard explosion indicator is not set; &1 &2 &3 &4," typically occurs in the context of the SAP ERP system when dealing with bill of materials (BOM) or production planning. This error indicates that the system is unable to perform a standard explosion of the BOM because the necessary indicator is not set.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Standard Explosion Indicator: The primary cause of this error is that the standard explosion indicator is not set for the material or BOM in question. This indicator is essential for the system to know how to explode the BOM correctly.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the material master or BOM settings that prevent the standard explosion from being executed.

  Check BOM Settings: 
  
  Go to the BOM (Bill of Materials) in the SAP system and check if the standard explosion indicator is set. You can do this using transaction code CS03 (Display BOM).
