V2104 - Details

• The SAP error message V2104 indicates that you are trying to copy an item that is part of a Bill of Materials (BOM) into a context where it cannot be used, such as a sales order or another BOM. This error typically arises when you attempt to copy a component of a BOM into a different structure or context that does not allow for it.
  
  Cause:
  
  Component of BOM: The item you are trying to copy is defined as a component in a BOM, which means it is linked to a parent item and is not standalone.
  Incorrect Context: You may be trying to copy the item into a context (like a sales order or another BOM) that does not accept components of a BOM directly.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check BOM Structure: Verify the BOM structure to ensure that the item you are trying to copy is indeed a component and understand its role in the BOM.
