• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /MOC/CONFIG100 - Code group &1 cannot be assigned to code group &2 to avoid recursion ?

  The SAP error message /MOC/CONFIG100 Code group &1 cannot be assigned to code group &2 to avoid recursion typically occurs in the context of configuration management, particularly when dealing with code groups in the SAP system. This error indicates that there is an attempt to create a recursive assignment between code groups, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  Recursive Assignment: You are trying to assign a code group (let's say Code Group A) to another code group (Code Group B), and Code Group B is already assigned to Code Group A, creating a circular reference.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be an incorrect configuration in the code group assignments that leads to this recursion.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Code Group Assignments:
  
  Review the assignments of the code groups involved. Ensure that there are no circular references.
  You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration transaction in SAP (e.g., SPRO) and checking the code group assignments.
  
  
  
  Modify Assignments:
  
  If you find that a code group is incorrectly assigned to another code group that leads to recursion, modify the assignments to eliminate the circular reference.
  Ensure that each code group is only assigned to other code groups in a way that does not create loops.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  Use transaction codes like /MOC/CONFIG or other relevant configuration transactions to manage and review code group settings.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Help:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on managing code groups and their assignments.
  If necessary, consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team for assistance in resolving complex configurations.
