• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MD513 - Overflow: more than &1 phantom assemblies for MatBOM &2 &3 &4 ?

  The SAP error message MD513 "Overflow: more than &1 phantom assemblies for MatBOM &2 &3 &4" typically occurs during the processing of a Bill of Materials (BOM) in the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) module. This error indicates that the system has encountered more phantom assemblies than it can handle for a specific material BOM.
  
  Cause:
  
  Phantom Assemblies: Phantom assemblies are used in BOMs to represent a group of components that are treated as a single unit for planning purposes. If a BOM has too many phantom assemblies, it can exceed the system's limits.
  Configuration Limits: SAP has predefined limits for the number of phantom assemblies that can be processed in a single BOM. If this limit is exceeded, the MD513 error is triggered.
  Complex BOM Structure: A complex BOM structure with multiple levels of phantom assemblies can lead to this overflow error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Review BOM Structure: Check the BOM structure for the material in question. Simplify
