• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PLMDISCALC036 - For the update the already as recursive marked BOM items are excluded ?

  The SAP error message PLMDISCALC036 indicates that during the processing of a Bill of Materials (BOM) calculation, certain items that are already marked as recursive are being excluded from the update. This typically occurs in the context of BOM explosion or calculation processes where recursive BOMs (where a component is also a parent of another component) can lead to infinite loops or circular references.
  Cause:
  
  Recursive BOM Structure: The primary cause of this error is the presence of a recursive relationship in the BOM structure. This means that one or more components in the BOM reference themselves either directly or indirectly, leading to a situation where the system cannot resolve the hierarchy.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with how the BOM is configured, such as incorrect parent-child relationships or missing data that leads to recursion.
  Data Integrity Issues: Inconsistent or corrupt data in the BOM can also lead to recursive references.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review BOM Structure: Check the BOM structure for any recursive relationships. You can do this by analyzing the parent-child relationships in the BOM. Ensure that no component is referencing itself or creating a circular reference.
  Correct BOM Entries: If you find any recursive entries, correct them by either removing the recursive reference or restructuring the BOM to eliminate the circular dependency.
  Use BOM Analysis Tools: Utilize SAP tools or reports that can help identify and analyze BOM structures for potential issues. Tools like the BOM explosion report can help visualize the hierarchy.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to BOM processing and recursive structures for additional guidance.
  Testing: After making changes, test the BOM calculation again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  BOM Management: Familiarize yourself with best practices for BOM management in SAP, including how to structure BOMs to avoid recursion.
