• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M3775 - Error in recursiveness check for special procurement type ?

  The SAP error message M3775, "Error in recursiveness check for special procurement type," typically occurs in the context of material master data and special procurement types. This error indicates that there is a problem with the configuration of special procurement types, particularly when there is a recursive reference that could lead to an infinite loop in procurement processes.
  Cause:
  
  Recursive Configuration: The most common cause of this error is that the special procurement type is configured in such a way that it references itself or creates a loop. For example, if a special procurement type is set to use another special procurement type that eventually leads back to the original type, it creates a recursive situation.
  Incorrect Material Master Data: The material master data may have been incorrectly set up, leading to conflicts in procurement types.
  Custom Logic: If there are custom developments or enhancements in the procurement process, they may inadvertently create recursive calls.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Special Procurement Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for special procurement types in the SAP system (Transaction code: SPRO).
  Review the settings for the special procurement types involved and ensure that they do not reference each other in a way that creates a loop.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:

  Ensure that the special procurement types assigned to the materials are correctly configured and do not lead to recursion.
  
  
  
  Analyze Custom Code:
  
  If there are any custom enhancements or user exits related to procurement, review the code to ensure that it does not create recursive calls.
  
  
  
  Testing:
