• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PMMO_MM_INTEGRATION049 - Recursive level depth cannot be greater than 999 ?

  The SAP error message PMMO_MM_INTEGRATION049, which states "Recursive level depth cannot be greater than 999," typically occurs in the context of Material Management (MM) and Production Planning (PP) integration. This error indicates that a recursive function or process has exceeded the maximum allowed depth of 999 levels, which can happen during operations such as BOM (Bill of Materials) explosion, material master data processing, or during the execution of certain transactions that involve deep hierarchies.
  Causes:
  
  Deep BOM Structure: The most common cause is a Bill of Materials (BOM) that has a very deep hierarchical structure, leading to excessive recursion when the system tries to process it.
  Circular References: There may be circular references in the BOM or routing, causing the system to loop indefinitely until it hits the recursion limit.
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration in the material master or BOM settings can lead to unexpected behavior during processing.
  Custom Code: If there are custom enhancements
