• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PMMO_MM_INTEGRATION036 - &1 &2 skipped to avoid PARENT = CHILD consumption entry ?

  The SAP error message PMMO_MM_INTEGRATION036 indicates that there is an issue with the integration between the Production Planning (PP) and Materials Management (MM) modules, specifically related to the consumption entries in the context of production orders or material movements. The message typically means that a consumption entry is being skipped because it would result in a situation where a parent item is being consumed as if it were a child item, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Parent-Child Relationship: The error arises when there is an attempt to consume a material that is both a parent and a child in the bill of materials (BOM). This can happen if the system detects that the same material is being used in both roles, leading to ambiguity in inventory management.
  Incorrect BOM Configuration: The BOM may be incorrectly configured, leading to a situation where the system cannot determine the correct consumption path.
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the master data, such as incorrect material master records or BOMs that do not accurately reflect the production process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review BOM Configuration: Check the BOM for the affected materials to ensure that the parent-child relationships are correctly defined. Make sure that the materials are not incorrectly set up to be both parent and child.
  Check Material Master Data: Verify the material master records for the involved materials to ensure that they are correctly defined and that there are no conflicting settings.
  Adjust Consumption Entries: If possible, adjust the consumption entries to ensure that they do not lead to a parent-child conflict. This may involve changing the quantities or the materials being consumed.
  Consult SAP Notes: Look for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for known issues.
  Testing: After making changes, conduct tests to ensure that the error does not recur and that the integration between PP and MM is functioning as expected.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like CS03 (Display BOM), MM03 (Display Material), or CO03 (Display Production Order) to investigate the relevant data.
  Integration Points: Understand the integration points between PP and MM, as this will help in diagnosing the issue more effectively.
  SAP Community: Consider reaching out to the SAP Community or forums for additional insights or similar experiences from other users.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP MM and PP integration.
