changes had been made to the dependent requirements of the planned
order. Because of the BOM explosion, these changes cannot be seen in
the pull list.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RMPU104 - Planned orders with fixed BOMs were reexploded ?

  The SAP error message RMPU104 indicates that planned orders with fixed Bill of Materials (BOMs) have been re-exploded. This typically occurs in the context of production planning and material requirements planning (MRP) when the system detects changes that necessitate a re-evaluation of the BOMs associated with planned orders.
  Cause:
  
  Changes in BOM: The most common cause is that there have been changes to the BOM or the routing that affect the planned orders. This could include changes in component quantities, the addition or removal of components, or changes in the production process.
  MRP Run: If an MRP run is executed, it may trigger the re-explosion of planned orders, especially if the settings for the MRP run are configured to consider changes in BOMs.
  Fixed BOM Settings: The planned orders are set to use fixed BOMs, which means they should not change unless explicitly modified. However, if the system detects a need to re-evaluate the BOM due to changes in the master data, it will issue this message.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review BOM Changes: Check if there have been any recent changes to the BOM or routing that could have triggered the re-explosion. If changes were made, ensure they are correct and necessary.
  Check MRP Settings: Review the MRP settings to understand why the planned orders are being re-exploded. You may need to adjust the settings if the re-explosion is not desired.
  Manual Intervention: If the re-explosion is not intended, you may need to manually adjust the planned orders or revert any unintended changes to the BOM.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling planned orders and BOMs in your version of SAP.
  Testing: If you are in a development or testing environment, try to replicate the issue to understand the conditions under which the error occurs.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to use transaction codes like MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) or CO02 (Change Production Order) to analyze the planned orders and their associated BOMs.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional context or solutions.
  User Exits and Enhancements: If your organization has custom enhancements or user exits related to MRP or BOM processing, review those to ensure they are functioning as intended.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP production planning and MRP processes.
