How To Fix PPEMPL101 - Recursion between PVS and MPL is possible

PPEMPL101 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: PPEMPL -

• Message number: 101

• Message text: Recursion between PVS and MPL is possible

What causes this issue?

The system has checked whether recursions exist within the PVS and MPL
structures.
However, it is still possible that structures are recursive among
themselves or that recursions exist between MPL structures and classic
bills of material.
This should not be a problem, however, since MPL structures have a
purely documentative character, and thus have no influence on production
processes.
&System_response&

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

If you want to ensure that no recursions exist, you must check this
manually.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPEMPL101 - Recursion between PVS and MPL is possible ?

  The SAP error message PPEMPL101 indicates that there is a recursion issue between the Planning Version Structure (PVS) and the Multi-Planning Level (MPL) in the SAP system. This typically occurs in the context of planning scenarios where the system detects that a planning version is referencing itself, either directly or indirectly, which can lead to infinite loops in calculations.
  
  Cause:
  
  Circular Reference: The most common cause of this error is a circular reference in the planning versions or levels. For example, if Planning Version A references Planning Version B, and Planning Version B references Planning Version A, this creates a recursion.
  Incorrect Configuration: Misconfiguration in the planning version or planning levels can lead to unintended references that cause recursion.
  Data Model Issues: Issues in the data model or the way planning levels are defined can also lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Planning Versions: Check the configuration of your planning versions and ensure that there are
