  Incorrect Material Master Data: The material master data may not be set up correctly, leading to the absence of components in the planned order.
  
  
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters for the material may not be set correctly, which can affect how components are determined.
  
  
  Order Type Configuration: The configuration of the order type may not allow for components to be assigned.
