• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_MATERIAL036 - Material & is not a full product; BOMs will not be copied ?

  The SAP error message WRF_MATERIAL036 indicates that the material you are trying to work with is not classified as a full product, which means that it cannot have Bill of Materials (BOMs) copied to it. This error typically arises in the context of material management and product structure in SAP, particularly when dealing with the creation or modification of materials in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Material Type: The material in question may be of a type that does not support BOMs. For example, materials classified as raw materials or semi-finished goods may not be considered full products.
  Material Status: The material might be in a status that does not allow it to be treated as a full product. This could be due to settings in the material master data.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings in the SAP system may not allow certain materials to be treated as full products.
  Missing Classification: The material may not be properly classified in the system, which can prevent it from being recognized as a full product.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Material Type: Verify the material type of the affected material. If it is not a full product type, consider changing it to a type that supports BOMs, if appropriate.
  Review Material Master Data: Go to the material master data and check the settings. Ensure that the material is set up correctly and that it has the necessary classifications and statuses.
  Change Material Status: If the material is in a status that restricts it from being treated as a full product, you may need to change its status.
  Consult Configuration: If you have access to the configuration settings, check if there are any restrictions or settings that prevent the material from being treated as a full product.
  Create a New Material: If the current material cannot be modified to meet the requirements, consider creating a new material that is classified as a full product.
