  Data Entry Error: During the creation of the structured material, there may have been an oversight or error that resulted in no components being added.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Add Components: 
  
  Go to the material master record of the structured material.
  Navigate to the relevant view (usually the "Basic Data" or "Sales" view).
  Add the necessary components to the structured material. This can be done by defining the BOM (Bill of Materials) for the material.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration Settings:

  Ensure that the configuration profile is correctly set up and that it includes the required components.
