• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PLMDISCALC043 - Low-level code of material &1 could not be determined (overflow) ?

  The SAP error message PLMDISCALC043 indicates that the system encountered an issue while trying to determine the low-level code for a material, specifically due to an overflow condition. This typically occurs in the context of material requirements planning (MRP) or when dealing with complex bill of materials (BOM) structures.
  
  Cause:
  
  Complex BOM Structure: The material may have a very complex BOM with multiple levels, leading to an overflow when the system tries to calculate the low-level code.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be inconsistencies or errors in the BOM or material master data that prevent the system from correctly determining the low-level code.
  Configuration Limits: The system may have reached its limits in terms of the number of levels it can process for low-level coding.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Simplify BOM Structure: If possible, simplify the BOM structure to reduce the number of levels. This can help avoid overflow issues.
  Check Material Master Data: Review the material master data and
