• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IB_DECO111 - Current component is not a material ?

  The SAP error message IB_DECO111: Current component is not a material typically occurs in the context of production planning or inventory management when the system expects a material number but receives a different type of component (like a non-material item or a service).
  Cause:
  
  
  Incorrect Component Type: The component you are trying to use in a bill of materials (BOM) or production order is not defined as a material in the SAP system. This could be due to:
  
  The component is a service or a non-stock item.
  The component is not maintained in the material master as a material type that can be used in production (e.g., it might be a text item or a document).
  
  
  
  Material Master Data Issues: The material master data for the component may be incomplete or incorrectly configured, leading the system to not recognize it as a valid material.
  
  
  BOM Configuration: The BOM might be incorrectly configured, where a non-material item is mistakenly included.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Component Type: Verify the type of the component you are trying to use. Ensure that it is defined as a material in the material master. You can do this by:
  
  Navigating to the material master (Transaction Code: MM03) and checking the material type.
  Ensuring that the component is not a service or a non-stock item unless intended.
  
  
  
  Review BOM: If the error occurs while processing a BOM, check the BOM configuration:
  
  Use Transaction Code: CS03 to display the BOM and verify that all components are valid materials.
  If a non-material item is included, consider removing it or replacing it with a valid material.
  
  
  
  Material Master Maintenance: If the component should be a material but is not set up correctly:
  
  Create or update the material in the material master (Transaction Code: MM01 or MM02).
  Ensure that the material type is appropriate for the intended use (e.g., raw material, finished product).
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the configuration or the type of components, consult your organization's SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Material Types: Familiarize yourself with the different material types in SAP (e.g., ROH for raw materials, FERT for finished goods) and their intended uses.
  BOM Management: Understand how to manage BOMs effectively, including how to add, remove, or modify components.
  SAP Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP helpdesk for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
