• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PMMO_MM_INTEGRATION045 - Only positive values are allowed for recursive level depth ?

  The SAP error message PMMO_MM_INTEGRATION045, which states "Only positive values are allowed for recursive level depth," typically occurs in the context of Material Management (MM) and Production Planning (PP) when there is an issue with the configuration of recursive levels in a bill of materials (BOM) or when processing a material master.
  Cause:
  This error is generally caused by one of the following issues:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The recursive level depth is set to a non-positive value (zero or negative) in the configuration settings for BOM or material master processing.
  Data Entry Error: During the creation or modification of a BOM or material master, a user may have inadvertently entered an invalid value for the recursive level depth.
  Custom Code or Enhancements: If there are custom programs or enhancements that manipulate BOMs or material data, they may be incorrectly setting the recursive level depth.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration Settings:
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration settings in SAP for BOM or material master.
  Ensure that the recursive level depth is set to a positive integer value. This can usually be found in the configuration for the material type or BOM settings.
  
  
  
  Review Data Entries:
  
  If the error occurs during the creation or modification of a BOM or material, review the entries made. Ensure that all fields related to recursive levels are correctly filled with valid positive values.
  
  
  
  Debug Custom Code:
  
  If there are any custom programs or enhancements that interact with BOMs or material masters, review the code to ensure that it does not set the recursive level depth to a non-positive value.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the changes by attempting to recreate or modify the BOM or material that previously caused the error.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on BOM and material master settings related to recursive levels.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance, especially if it seems to be a more complex issue related to system configuration or custom developments.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BOM (Bill of Materials): A structured list of components that make up a product, which can have multiple levels of hierarchy.
  Material Master: A central repository of information related to materials in SAP, which includes data relevant to procurement, inventory management, and production planning.
  Recursive Level Depth: Refers to the number of levels deep that the system will go when processing BOMs or materials. It is important for ensuring that the system can accurately calculate requirements and manage inventory.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the cause of the PMMO_MM_INTEGRATION045 error in your SAP system.
