• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CURTO042 - VC relevant components are not allowed in CDP BOMs ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CURTO042 indicates that there are issues with the configuration of the Bill of Materials (BOM) in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). Specifically, this error occurs when you attempt to use variant configuration (VC) relevant components in a Configuration-Dependent Planning (CDP) BOM, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error is typically caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Incompatibility of Components: The components you are trying to include in the CDP BOM are marked as variant configuration relevant, which is not permitted in this context.
  Incorrect BOM Type: The BOM type you are using may not support VC components. CDP BOMs are designed for specific planning scenarios and may not accommodate VC components.
  Configuration Settings: There may be settings in the configuration that restrict the use of VC components in certain BOMs.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review BOM Components: Check the components included in the CDP BOM. Ensure that none of them are marked as VC relevant. If they are, consider removing them from the BOM or using a different BOM type that supports VC components.
  
  
  Change BOM Type: If your planning scenario requires the use of VC components, consider using a different BOM type that allows for variant configuration. For example, you might use a standard BOM or a variant BOM instead of a CDP BOM.
  
  
  Adjust Configuration Settings: Review the configuration settings in your SAP system to ensure that they align with your planning requirements. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to make necessary adjustments.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on BOM types and their compatibility with variant configuration.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the BOM in the planning scenario to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the planning process works as expected.
