  Error Message
  WRF_APC687: No components found for material &1
  
  Cause
  This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO), specifically during the production planning or product costing process. The system is trying to find the components (i.e., the Bill of Materials - BOM) for a given material but fails to locate any.
  Common causes include:
  
  No BOM maintained for the material: The material does not have a BOM assigned in the system.
  Incorrect BOM usage or status: The BOM exists but is not valid for the current plant, date, or usage.
  Incorrect master data assignment: The material master or BOM master data is incomplete or inconsistent.
  Integration issues: The data has not been properly transferred or replicated from SAP ERP to APO (if APO is used).
  Wrong material number: The material number passed to the planning or costing function is incorrect or does not exist.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check BOM for the material:
  
  In SAP ERP, use transaction CS03 (Display BOM) to verify if a BOM exists for the material.
  Ensure the BOM is valid for the plant and date in question.
  Check BOM usage (e.g., production, costing) and status (active).
  
  
  
  Maintain or correct BOM:
  
  If no BOM exists, create one using CS01.
  If BOM exists but is invalid, adjust the validity dates or usage.
  
  
  
  Verify material master data:
  
  Use MM03 to check the material master.
  Confirm that the material is correctly maintained for the plant and relevant views (e.g., MRP, costing).
  
  
  
  Check integration and data replication:
  
  If using SAP APO, ensure that the material and BOM data have been properly replicated from ERP to APO.
  Use transactions like /SAPAPO/CCR (Core Interface Monitor) to check CIF status.
  Re-replicate data if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check the process or program calling the BOM:
  
  Verify that the correct material number is passed.
  Check if any user-exits or custom code might be altering the material number or BOM selection.
  
  
  
  Additional checks:
  
  If the error occurs during costing, ensure that costing BOMs are maintained.
  Check for any notes or OSS messages related to WRF_APC687.
