MEOUT224 - Details

• The SAP error message MEOUT224 indicates that a material with a phantom assembly is not supported for subcontracting. This typically occurs when you are trying to create a purchase order or a subcontracting order for a material that is defined as a phantom assembly in the system.
  
  Cause:
  
  
  Phantom Assembly Definition: A phantom assembly is a special type of material that is used in production planning.
