• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MPE_RTG_UI227 - Assign BOM items with object dependencies to logical components only ?

  The SAP error message MPE_RTG_UI227 indicates that there is an issue with assigning Bill of Materials (BOM) items that have object dependencies to logical components in the system. This error typically arises in the context of configuring products in SAP, particularly when using the Variant Configuration (VC) functionality.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to assign BOM items that have object dependencies (like characteristics or constraints) to logical components that are not compatible with those dependencies. In other words, the system is enforcing a rule that BOM items with dependencies should only be assigned to logical components that can handle those dependencies.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check BOM Items: Review the BOM items you are trying to assign. Ensure that they do not have object dependencies that are incompatible with the logical components you are using.
  
  
  Review Logical Components: Verify that the logical components you are assigning the BOM items to are set up to handle object dependencies. This may involve checking the configuration settings for those components.
  
  
  Modify Object Dependencies: If necessary, modify the object dependencies associated with the BOM items to ensure they are compatible with the logical components.
  
  
  Use Compatible Components: If the logical components cannot be modified to handle the dependencies, consider using different logical components that are compatible with the BOM items.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on how to manage BOM items and object dependencies in your specific version of SAP.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the assignment again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
