• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VCH_L2A_EXPLOSION122 - BOM component &1 is not configurable ?

  The SAP error message "VCH_L2A_EXPLOSION122: BOM component &1 is not configurable" typically occurs in the context of Bill of Materials (BOM) processing, particularly when dealing with configurable materials in SAP. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  
  Non-configurable BOM Component: The error indicates that the BOM component specified (represented by &1) is not set up as a configurable material. In SAP, configurable materials are those that can be customized based on specific characteristics and options during the sales order or production order process.
  
  
  Incorrect BOM Setup: The BOM may have been incorrectly set up, where a component that should be configurable is not marked as such in the system.
  
  
  Material Master Settings: The material master record for the component may not be configured correctly. It may not have the necessary configuration settings or characteristics defined.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check BOM Configuration:
  
  Go to the BOM in question and verify that the component is indeed intended to be configurable. If it should be, ensure that it is marked as a configurable material in the BOM settings.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master:
  
  Check the material master record for the component. Ensure that it is set up as a configurable material. You can do this by navigating to the material master (transaction code MM03) and checking the relevant views (especially the Basic Data and Sales views).
  
  
  
  Adjust BOM Settings:
  
  If the component should not be configurable, you may need to adjust the BOM settings to remove any references to configuration or ensure that the configuration is not required for that component.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to BOM configuration and configurable materials to ensure that all necessary settings are in place.
  
  
  
  Check for User Exits or Enhancements:
  
  If there are any custom developments or enhancements in your SAP system that might affect BOM processing, review those to ensure they are not causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance, especially if this is a production issue.
